No More Coward Games

I hear sweet talk, I smell the smoke

Your crooked grin, your cheap old joke

You bend the truth like wire in rain

Then act surprised when it breaks the frame

I’ve seen that look, I know that game

All mouth, all bluff, no spine, no shame

You point that finger, hide your face

But the truth still lands in this place

I don’t fold, I don’t bend

I won’t let that story in

You can dress it up in gold

Still comes out cold

I don’t fall for lies

I don’t play your games

Say it to my face

Say my name

Coward behind words

Scared of the truth

I call it out

That’s what I do

(I call it out)

(I call it out)

You talk real loud when no one’s near

But all that noise turns thin right here

When the room gets still and the lights go low

Your brave act cracks, and I watch it show

I was raised up where the facts don’t shake

Where a soft lie can still break your plate

So keep your lines and keep your pose

I know a phony when I see one close

I don’t fold, I don’t bend

I won’t let that story in

You can dress it up in gold

Still comes out cold

I don’t fall for lies

I don’t play your games

Say it to my face

Say my name

Coward behind words

Scared of the truth

I call it out

That’s what I do

(I call it out)

(I call it out)

Now the room gets quiet

Now the mask slips down

You wanted me silent

But I’m standing my ground

No more pretty excuses

No more blame to throw

If you can’t face the truth, then baby

Let the whole town know

I don’t fall for lies

I don’t play your games

Say it to my face

Say my name

Coward behind words

Scared of the truth

I call it out

That’s what I do

(I call it out)

(I call it out)

That’s what I do
