Introduction

The Truth Is Lyin’ Next to You hits you with an emotion that’s all too real—when the truth is right in front of you, yet you’re still grappling with it. This is a song that really digs into those moments of love and heartache, where the weight of unspoken truths becomes undeniable. It’s about those times when you’re lying next to someone, feeling the distance grow even though they’re right there with you. That feeling of knowing something’s wrong but not being able to voice it? That’s the soul of this song.

What’s so compelling about this track is its raw honesty. It doesn’t sugarcoat the pain or pretend everything’s fine. Instead, it’s almost like a confession—one wrapped in bittersweet melodies that carry both hope and heartbreak. The lyrics are straightforward but hit deeply, reflecting on the complicated nature of love and the lies we tell ourselves to keep things together, even when they’re falling apart.

When you listen to The Truth Is Lyin’ Next to You, it’s hard not to feel a tug in your chest. It makes you think about your own relationships and the little moments of silence where everything unsaid is louder than words. The song’s beauty lies in its simplicity—it’s just a heart speaking out loud, reminding you that sometimes the hardest truth to face is the one closest to you

Lyrics

Everybody said I’d leave you
They gave us six months to a year
Said our love would just fall prey to
The jukebox, women and the beer
They wanna start those rumours flyin’
They’re watchin’ for a rendezvous
But if they ever say I’m cheating
They’ll be lyin’
The truth is lyin’ next to you
Truth is
I’m gonna be here for a long, long time
I’ll stay forever or ’til you say goodbye
Don’t need a neon moon to make my night shine
And if you need some lovin’ proof
Just reach out
The truth is lyin’ next to you
Over phone lines and back fences
We’re the talk of this whole town
They just shake their heads and wonder
They can’t believe I’m still around
They can search the backstreets barrooms
To see if I’m with someone new
But if they ever say they saw me
They’ll be lyin’
The truth is lyin’ next to you
Truth is
I’m gonna be here for a long, long time
I’ll stay forever or ’til you say goodbye
Don’t need a neon moon to make my night shine
And if you need some lovin’ proof
Just reach out
The truth is lyin’ next to you
Truth is
I’m gonna be here for a long, long time
I’ll stay forever or ’til you say goodbye
Don’t need a neon moon to make my night shine
And if you need some lovin’ proof
Just reach out
The truth is lyin’ next to you
