[Verse 1]
Finally, I accepted it
We can't be together now
We kept on missing the meaning
Same words, different mouths
I held your hand through the storm
You held mine through the fire
But we kept breaking our own bridge
One plank at a time
[Pre-Chorus]
And that truth hurts
Yeah, it cuts real deep
We tried to speak
But we stayed asleep
[Chorus]
Truth hurts like this
Truth hurts like this
Love and pain, I keep both
Truth hurts like this
(Truth hurts like this)
[Verse 2]
Thank you for the hard nights
Thank you for the sweet ones too
You gave me a house of feeling
Then you let the walls fall through
We never truly knew each other
Not the way we said we did
Now I let your name go slowly
Like a match in the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
And that truth hurts
Yeah, it cuts real deep
We tried to speak
But we stayed asleep
[Chorus]
Truth hurts like this
Truth hurts like this
Love and pain, I keep both
Truth hurts like this
(Truth hurts like this)
[Bridge]
If I’m honest, I’m still grieving
For the us that never grew
I don’t blame you for leaving
I just wish we both got through
[Final Chorus]
Truth hurts like this
Truth hurts like this
Love and pain, I keep both
Truth hurts like this
Truth hurts like this
(Truth hurts like this)
