Truth Is Lyrics

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 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

It's so much easier
They don't know that we're just friends
Than goin' down that road
And losin' you all over 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)
What the truth is
