Tell the Truth Songtext
von The Avett Brothers

Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place
Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place

I lied to the doctor
I lied to my lover
I wanna make amends
But where do I start?

Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place
Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place

Tell the truth to yourself
Tell the truth


I can make my mother, my father, my sister, my brother
My lover, my neighbor, my friends, all happy
Give of myself whatever they ask
But without this single truth, it is only emptiness that I cast
A happiness that will not last
But I′m not here for that
For what does happiness help
Without this simple truth given to thyself?

I was the coward
I did strangle your heart
I wanna make amends
But where do I start?

Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place
Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place

Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place
Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place
