Is It True
Andy Scott's Sweet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another day I waste more time
Still running things around my mind
Should I stay another day
We were lovers so they say
What becomes of love when love is all but gone
How much longer can I carry on
Oh lord can't believe we're through
Is it true baby please don't lie
There's just a memory of what we had before
Is it true baby
Oh please don't lie
And then I stopped and think again
Well maybe we could stay as friends
But do friends act the way we do
Is it me baby is it you
There was a time when we could
Laugh and talk things out
But all we seemed to do is fight and shout
Oh lord can't believe we're through
Is it true baby please don't lie
There's just a memory of what we had before
Is it true baby
Oh please don't lie
Times we had and times we cried
Times when we very nearly put aside
All our differences and all our pain
Those were the times when we would celebrate
Oh lord can't believe we're through
Is it true baby please don't lie
There's just a memory of what we had before




Is it true baby
Ooh I can't lie

Another day I waste more time
I'm procrastinating instead of dealing with our breakup


Still running things around my mind
I can't stop thinking about our relationship


Should I stay another day
I'm considering trying to rekindle our relationship


We were lovers so they say
We used to be in love, according to others


What becomes of love when love is all but gone
What happens to love when it's almost disappeared?


How much longer can I carry on
I don't know how much longer I can handle this pain


Oh lord can't believe we're through
I'm in disbelief that our relationship is over


Is it true baby please don't lie
I need to know if you still love me


There's just a memory of what we had before
All that remains of our relationship is a memory


And then I stopped and think again
I pause and reconsider my decision


Well maybe we could stay as friends
Perhaps we could still have a friendship


But do friends act the way we do
Our behavior isn't typical of a friendship


Is it me baby is it you
One of us is causing our relationship to deteriorate


There was a time when we could
We used to be able to


Laugh and talk things out
Resolve conflicts through conversation and humor


But all we seemed to do is fight and shout
Now, our communication only leads to arguments


Times we had and times we cried
Our relationship had its highs and lows


Times when we very nearly put aside
There were moments when we almost ended things


All our differences and all our pain
Our disagreements and hurt feelings


Those were the times when we would celebrate
But we also had good times worth commemorating


Ooh I can't lie
I can't pretend that everything is okay
