Truth Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can tell me that you tried
But you told me as you said goodbye
And all those things you couldn't say
You just watched me walk away, again

[Pre-Chorus]
But I was there for you 'til the end
As your lover and your best friend

[Chorus]
So, why'd you cross that line and destroy my life?
Please, just tell the truth
'Cause it's a lot to defend, and I can't understand
How I'm still lovin' you

[Verse 2]
Why can't you be by yourself?
You're always needin' to be with someone else
So uncomfortable in your own skin
I didn't realize that "time alone" meant time with him

[Chorus]
So, why'd you cross that line and dеstroy my life?
Please, just tеll the truth
'Cause it's a lot to defend, and I can't understand
How I'm still lovin' you
[Bridge]
We only have one life
To get it right
We had our second chance
And yet we fucked it up again

[Guitar Solo]

[Break]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah)

[Chorus]
So, why'd you cross that line and destroy our lives?
Please, just say the truth
It's a lot to defend, I can't understand
How I'm still lovin' you
How am I still lovin' you?

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
