Verse 1
Small town talking like they always do
Stories flying before they know the truth
Every whisper got my name attached
Like a match being struck in a room of gas
I tried to speak but nobody heard
Too many opinions, not enough words
Judgment falling like pouring rain
And somehow I’m the one to blame
Pre-Chorus
They can close the door, turn the lights down low
But truth has a way of letting itself be known
Chorus
The truth doesn’t need a witness
It don’t need a courtroom stand
It don’t need a loud opinion
Or a judge to raise his hand
You can bury it deep in the dark
Try to write me off like this
But truth don’t fade with time
And the truth don’t need a witness
Verse 2
Lost a job, lost sleep, lost peace of mind
Trying to outrun rumors every night
But lies burn hot and fast like flame
While truth moves slow but stays the same
People choosing sides like a game to win
But they never cared where the truth had been
Funny how silence fills the room
When lies start showing through
Pre-Chorus
You can build a wall out of doubt and fear
But truth will break through sooner or later here
Chorus
The truth doesn’t need a witness
It don’t need a courtroom stand
It don’t need a loud opinion
Or a judge to raise his hand
You can bury it deep in the dark
Try to write me off like this
But truth don’t fade with time
And the truth don’t need a witness
Bridge (big emotional moment)
You tried to break my name in two
Tried to make your lie the truth
But the weight of lies gets hard to hold
And every story eventually unfolds
You can push me down in the dirt tonight
But tomorrow the sun still rises
Final Chorus (bigger)
The truth doesn’t need a witness
It don’t need a courtroom stand
It don’t need a thousand voices
Or a crowd to understand
You can bury it deep in the dark
Try to write me off like this
But truth stands strong with time
And the truth don’t need a witness
