When reality hit me, I finally realized
Late spring for my country will never be the same again
All those simple, everyday things were truly precious
But now I've lost it all and I must accept my mistakes

*Chorus pt. 1
With no one here to guide me, how can I right this wrong?
The truth hurts. . . There's no going back
I hid too many secrets to protect someone else
The truth hurts. . . There's no turning back

Ah, was there no other way?

When reality hit me, I finally realized
the gravity of this awful game of consequences
If I did nothing, then tell me,
would things have been fine?
If I had taken time to stop and think, would all be well?

*Chorus pt. 2
I'll become the pariah just so they can save face
The truth hurts. . . There's no going back
All the could've and would've - - hindsight is never clear
The truth hurts. . . I'm the one at fault

Say “goodbye”
