Story Behind The Song

The concept of Truth - what is the truth? Different people have different perspectives and these differing perspectives make them perceive different truths. Finding a universal truth within a relationship that both people can be happy to call 'the truth' is not easy, lying to the one you love to prevent them from being hurt is pointless, because they will know anyway, on some subconscious level, they will see the truth in your eyes, your behaviour etc.

Song Description

about asking the person you love not to lie to you, even if the truth is going to hurt

Lyrics

You say you love me,
but can you feel it in your heart?
Do you mean it?
Don't you hate when we're apart?
There's your truth and,
honey sometimes there is mine
and the truth is,
the truth of love is hard to find

Don't say it, if you don't mean it
don't make this love a lie
truth is never easy,
and i can see it in your eye
don't say it, if you don't mean it
don't make this love a lie
truth is never easy
and i can see it in your eye

you say you're sorry
but what are you really sorry for?
that you hurt me?
or that i caught you with that - huh!
you begged forgiveness
but i'm not so pure or so kind
and true forgiveness,
like the truth is hard to find

Don't say it, if you don't mean it
don't make this love a lie
truth is never easy,
and i can see it in your eye
don't say it, if you don't mean it
don't make this love a lie
truth is never easy
and i can see it in your eye

people's truths don't always see eye to eye but
that aint no good reason for you to lie
i'm not asking for promises and fairytales
all i want is for a little truth to get in the way, so

Don't say it, if you don't mean it
don't make this love a lie
truth is never easy,
and i can see it in your eye
don't say it, if you don't mean it
don't make this love a lie
truth is never easy
and i can see it in your eye
