truth
Chris Jamison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fight that we just had got me prayin' that we'll make it through
How'd I let it get so bad, inside I'm feeling black and blue
This ain't what I had in my mind when we took those vows and said I do
I love you
Make sure when you say those words
You know it's true
Make sure when you say those words
That it's the truth
Open up the door, see your tears fall to the ground
I know that we've been here before
Let's just skip the part where we scream and shout
How'd we let it get so bad, our picture perfect family
You're crying and I just can't walk out every time we start to disagree
I love you
Make sure when you say those words
You know it's true
I love you
Make sure when you say those words
That it's the truth
Won't find the answer, go in separate ways
Let's face our problems, compromise and change
I love you
Make sure when you say those words
You know it's true
I love you
Make sure when you say those words
That it's the truth
The song "Truth" by Chris Jamison appears to be about the struggles and challenges within a romantic relationship. In the opening verse, the singer is driving around to clear his head after a fight with his partner. He is feeling emotionally bruised and conflicted, realizing that the reality of their relationship is not what he had hoped it would be when they were getting married. The chorus emphasizes the importance of sincerity and honesty in expressing love. The singer recognizes that merely saying “I love you” without true feeling and commitment is not enough to repair a damaged relationship.
In the second verse, the singer approaches his partner as she is crying, perhaps after an argument. He notes that they have been in this situation before and suggests that they skip the shouting and blaming this time. However, he still wonders how their seemingly idyllic family has reached this point of conflict. The chorus is repeated, underscoring the importance of sincerity in expressing love.
The bridge introduces a resolution to the conflict, recognizing that leaving and avoiding problems will not lead to solutions. Instead, the couple must work together to compromise and find ways to change their relationship for the better. Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of honesty, sincerity, and commitment in relationships, highlighting the difficulties that can arise when these qualities are lacking.
