The Truth Doesn’t Need A Whitness

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
