[Verse 1]
I saw you looking at her pictures
I saw you looking at the photo on your wall
You lied to everyone and said you didn’t miss her
But the truth’s ready to slip with a steady dose of alcohol
You can’t help that it’s sitting in the past
With the ghost of her voice creeping in when you can’t sleep
When I’m sitting next to you and we laugh
I can see it in your eyes that you really let it crash
We call it karma, call it what you want
She don’t even know why she would ever be the one you want
I know there’s more to the story that I can’t see
The only thing that I can be is understanding
I’m only looking out for your health, see?
And holding onto her isn’t healthy
Anything you needed, I’ll be there
But I’m never gonna let you hold it in till it’s too late to tell me
[Chorus]
The truth just hurts so much
And the truth just hurts so much
[Verse 2]
You never imagined you would make it to this day
It never really hit until the moment that she walked away
Thought you had a grip, then you let it slip
Her thinking that was it, she quit following the script
What you told her, doesn’t matter if it’s true
You had intentions that were good enough to prove
What she needed to do
You were chasing other things, she was begging for you
Heavens knows she’ll never be a saint
You should’ve seen it coming when you let her embrace it
And you can scratch all that you want at the paint
But the memories, you can’t erase them
With a pen and a pad you take notes
Till the sadness within cannot be evoked
Till the last tear your sheets will soak
Till the fire of your passion is nothing but smoke
[Chorus]
The truth just hurts so much
And the truth just hurts so much
[Verse 3]
Let it breathe, you need sleep
I know that you don’t want to give up this easily
You’ve got pride, so you wage war
But this girl isn’t worth throwing your life away for
You’ve got so much ahead of you
Maybe no one else sees it
And I have to give credit to you
Cause without you my life is in pieces
We all miss the real you
And I bet you miss the life that you were living back then
I don’t want you to tape your mouth shut
Cause it hurts when I find you’ve been hiding from your friends
This girl isn’t worth it
I guess it takes time just to figure it out
And if God isn’t healing your pain
Then I guess it’s up to me to be casting it out
I saw you looking at her pictures
I saw you looking at the photo on your wall
You lied to everyone and said you didn’t miss her
But the truth’s ready to slip with a steady dose of alcohol
You can’t help that it’s sitting in the past
With the ghost of her voice creeping in when you can’t sleep
When I’m sitting next to you and we laugh
I can see it in your eyes that you really let it crash
We call it karma, call it what you want
She don’t even know why she would ever be the one you want
I know there’s more to the story that I can’t see
The only thing that I can be is understanding
I’m only looking out for your health, see?
And holding onto her isn’t healthy
Anything you needed, I’ll be there
But I’m never gonna let you hold it in till it’s too late to tell me

The truth just hurts so much
And the truth just hurts so much
[Verse 2]
You never imagined you would make it to this day
