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
