Truth Is

| | | | |

I don't wanna go

Where everybody knows your name

So I just stay at home

Mm, anymore these days

'Cause every time I leave the house

I hear somebody ask about you

And I just can't bring myself to tell the truth about it

So I tell a lie, mm

Say you're doin' pretty good

And things are goin' like they should

And when I get back home tonight

I'm gonna tell ya that they said to tell ya hi, mm-mm

'Cause the truth is, the truth is

I don't wanna tell 'em

I don't wanna tell 'em what thе truth is

Oh, the truth is, the truth is

I don't wanna tell 'еm

I don't wanna tell 'em what the truth is

It's so much easier

They don't know that we're just friends

Than goin' down that road

And losin' you all o - ver again

'Cause it's hard to live with knowin'

All the things I did and didn't do to keep you by my side

And I'm the reason for goodbye

And why you're gone

I just talk about the weather or whatever

Yeah, 'cause anything is better than discussin'

All the nothin' that we got goin' on

And that I'm barely hangin' on

'Cause the truth is, the truth is

I don't wanna tell 'em

I don't wanna tell 'em what the truth is

Oh, the truth is, the truth is

I don't wanna tell 'em

I don't wanna tell 'em what the truth is

But the truth is, the truth is

I don't wanna tell 'em

I don't wanna tell 'em what the truth is

And the truth is, the truth is

I don't wanna tell 'em

I don't wanna tell 'em what the truth is

(Every time I leave the house

I hear somebody ask about you

And I just can't bring myself to tell the truth about it

So I tell a lie)

I don't wanna tell 'em

I don't wanna tell 'em

(Say you're doin' pretty good

And things are goin' like they should

And when I get back home tonight

I'm gonna tell ya that they said to tell ya hi)
