Truth
The The Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say you're sorry
I'm repeating myself again
Tell me all the things you think I wanna hear
So yeah I'm angry
And I couldn't even say this for a while
You're still sitting on the truth
I can't get the taste of you out of my mouth
But that's not news to anyone
'Cuz you lie then cry about how I don't understand you
And you blame the world for all the things that you can't do
The truth is I'm just over it
Yeah the truth is your excuses don't mean I'm done
Does it sound like I'm done?
This is only half the truth
Hey lovely can you tell me why
'Cuz I don't understand it
You lie, make me cry, say your hands are tied
Like I'm supposed to believe that
You didn't kiss him, you didn't call her
You say you want me then screw me over
I can't trust the words coming out of their mouths
Still talking to ghosts but they're letting me down
'Cuz you lie then cry about how I don't understand you
And you blame the world for all the things that you can't do
The truth is I'm just over it
Yeah the truth is your excuses don't mean I'm done
Does it sound like I'm done?
This is only half the truth
I'm taking it back
Everything that I said
That was ever nice about you
So I'll take it all back
You'll never see me again
Oh don't you wish it were true?
'Cuz you lie then cry about how I don't understand you
And you blame the world for everything that you try to ruin
The truth is I'm not over it yet
The truth is it's all stuck in my head again
No, you didn't leave you got left
The details change when you tell the story
Again and again and again and again and again oh
Again and again and again and again and again oh
'Cuz it's only half the truth
The lyrics of "Truth" by The The Band are about a person who has been lied to repeatedly by their partner, who always apologizes, makes excuses, and blames others for their mistakes. The singer is angry and can't stop thinking about their partner, even though they are hurt and disappointed by their behavior. The song also touches upon the idea of trust and how it can be incredibly difficult to regain once it has been lost. The singer wants to move on from their partner but finds it hard to let go of the truth and the hurt.
The lyrics of "Truth" are poignant and relatable to many people who have experienced being lied to or deceived by someone they love. The songwriter does an excellent job of capturing the feeling of betrayal, hurt, and pent-up anger that can occur in these situations. The lyrics are raw, honest, and emotional, making them easy to connect with on a personal level.
