Is It True
Pete Kogus & The Counts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't find the way to hold you
Feelings they have changed
I'm on my way to tell you
Can't find the words to use
What am I gonna do
Cuz all the things you said
Well they run through my head
That we shared
And all the things you said
Well they run through my head
I think of all the shitty things I did
Is it too late
To face the truth that
I'm broken inside
It's too late
To turn back around
There's two ways
To fix it up now
We start over
Or just let it go
Where did we go wrong
Somewhere in the song
We lost touch
And you can't say that you tried
We all know that's a lie
So did I
Cuz all the things you said
Well they run through my head
I think of all the good times that we shared
And all the things you said
Well they run through my head
I think of all the shitty things I did
Is it too late
To face the truth that
I'm broken inside
It's too late
To turn back around
There's two ways
To fix it up now
We start over
Or just let it go
I'm on an empty road to
Can't find the way to hold you
The lyrics to Pete Kogus & The Counts's song "Is It True" express a sense of turmoil and regret in a failing relationship. The singer is traveling down an empty road, symbolizing their feelings of isolation and confusion. They are desperately searching for a way to hold onto their partner, but they cannot seem to find the right words or actions to convey their emotions.
The first paragraph suggests that the singer's feelings have changed, indicating a shift in the dynamics of the relationship. They are struggling to find the right words and are overwhelmed by the thoughts of everything their partner has said to them. The mention of both good times and "shitty things" alludes to a mix of positive and negative experiences, adding to the complexity of their emotions.
In the second paragraph, the singer questions if it is too late to face the truth that they are broken inside. This line suggests that they have been deeply affected by the state of their relationship. They feel a sense of regret and a lack of hope for turning things around. They present two options: starting over or letting go, implying that the situation may be beyond repair.
The third paragraph reflects on where things went wrong in the relationship, comparing it to losing touch somewhere in a song. This metaphor emphasizes the fading connection and the inability to communicate effectively. The singer implies that their partner did not put enough effort into trying to mend the relationship, and they acknowledge their own faults as well.
The final paragraph repeats the thoughts from the first paragraph, highlighting the continued presence of the partner's words running through the singer's head. They reflect on both the good times and the mistakes they made. The singer reiterates the question of whether it is too late to face the truth of their brokenness and emphasizes the feeling of being lost and unable to find their way back to their partner.
Overall, these lyrics capture the emotional struggle and longing for resolution in a failing relationship. The singer is grappling with regret, questioning if reconciliation is still possible, and contemplating the paths of either starting anew or letting go.

I'm on an empty road to
I feel lost and alone, unsure of where I'm headed
Can't find the way to hold you
I'm struggling to connect with you emotionally
Feelings they have changed
My emotions towards you have shifted
I'm on my way to tell you
I'm making an effort to express my thoughts to you
Can't find the words to use
I can't find the right words to convey my feelings
What am I gonna do
I'm unsure of how to handle this situation
Cuz all the things you said
Your words constantly replay in my mind
Well they run through my head
They continue to occupy my thoughts
I think of all the good times
I reminisce about the happy moments we shared
That we shared
The memories we created together
And all the things you said
But I also think of the hurtful things you said
I think of all the shitty things I did
I reflect on my own mistakes and regrets
Is it too late
I wonder if it's too late to salvage our relationship
To face the truth that
To acknowledge the reality that
I'm broken inside
I'm emotionally damaged
It's too late
It feels like time has run out
To turn back around
To go back to how things used to be
There's two ways
I see two possible options
To fix it up now
To repair our relationship
We start over
We begin again from the beginning
Or just let it go
Or we choose to move on
Where did we go wrong
When and how did our relationship experience a downfall
Somewhere in the song
At some point during our journey together
We lost touch
We became disconnected
And you can't say that you tried
And you can't claim that you made an effort
We all know that's a lie
We all recognize the truth
So did I
And so did I
Is it too late
I question if it's too late
To face the truth that
To confront the reality that
I'm broken inside
I'm emotionally damaged
It's too late
It feels like time has run out
To turn back around
To go back to how things used to be
There's two ways
I see two possible options
To fix it up now
To repair our relationship
We start over
We begin again from the beginning
Or just let it go
Or we choose to move on
I'm on an empty road to
I feel lost and alone, unsure of where I'm headed
Can't find the way to hold you
I'm struggling to connect with you emotionally
