The Truth
Cab Cris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you wanna know the truth baby
Or something beautiful
I wanna tell you the truth baby
There's something you should know

I can tell the stars to grant all of your wishes
Tell me is this sin even it's been forgiven
And I could paint your sky in the middle of the winter
So tell is it still true even if you're bitter

Is it clear now my dear? What's been happenin' here?
Maybe it's over now, it feels so much colder now
See it all in my mind, are we wastin' our lives?
If this is over now, ooh could it be over now?

Do you wanna know the truth baby?
Or something beautiful
I wanna tell you the truth baby
Is something you should know

Come on girl, yeah, you know that you have it
When I first saw you it was magic
Took a couple left turns, now it's tragic
Oh no, no, no, oh, no, no, no

Every time that you felt the separation
You needed love but you lost in translation
You wanna have it though my lug from out the basement
Oh no, no, no, oh, no, no, no

See you all in my mind, no more wasting our lives
If this is over now, ooh baby it's over now

Do you wanna know the truth baby?
Or something beautiful
I wanna tell you the truth baby
There is something you should know

We could write our life story
Like blowing trees, yeah
But I know you and you know me
And this our reality, yeah

Do you wanna know the truth baby?
Or something beautiful
I wanna tell you the truth baby
There is something you should know

Do you wanna know the truth baby?
Or something beautiful




I wanna tell you the truth baby
There is something you should know

Overall Meaning

He poses the question to his partner, whether they want to know the truth or something beautiful, indicating that there has been a level of deceit in their relationship. Cab Cris then goes on to provide examples of how he can offer his partner the world, such as granting their every wish or painting their sky in the winter, but questions whether it would still matter if they're feeling bitter.


The second verse describes the challenges they've faced as a couple, including language barriers and miscommunication.
