The Truth

The Truth - Kris Allen

Lying next to you

Wishing I could disappear

Let you fall asleep

And vanish out into thin air

It's the elephant in the room

And we pretend that we don't see it

It's the avalanche that looms above our heads

And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect

Trying not to let you down

Honesty is honestly

The hardest thing for me right now

While the floors underneath our feet

Are crumbling' the walls we built together tumbling

I still stand here holding up the roof

Cause it's easier than telling the truth

I still keep your photographs

I remember how we used to laugh

I can keep on losing sleep

If you're okay with being torn in half

It's the elephant in the room

And we pretend that we don't see it

It's the avalanche that looms above our heads

And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect

Trying not to let you down

Honesty is honestly

The hardest thing for me right now

While the floors underneath our feet

Are crumbling' the walls we built together tumbling

I still stand here holding up the roof

Cause it's easier than telling the truth

Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning

And let the rain come in

Stop pretending that it's not ending

And let the end begin' oh yeah

Trying to be perfect

Trying not to let you down

Honesty is honestly

The hardest thing for me right now' yeah

While the floors underneath our feet

Are crumbling' the walls we built together tumbling

I still stand here holding up the roof

Cause it's easier than telling the truth

It's easier than telling the truth
