Staring in your blue eyes
Seems like yesterday
Pledging to each other
Love would never go away

The fire would burn forever
I'd always be your man
But lately something's happened
I'm afraid I understand

Truth hurts
Baby, don't say goodbye
Truth hurts
I don't want to see me cry

So get your story straight
Keep it well rehearsed
Do me a favor
Don't let my bubble burst
The truth hurts

I'm not used to beggin'
I've never been that kind
But now my heart is breaking
And my ego's on the line

I'll tell me that you love me
And there's nobody else
Don't tell me any different
And I'll convince myself

Truth hurts
Baby, don't say goodbye
Truth hurts
I don't want to see me cry

So get your story straight
Keep it well rehearsed
Do me a favor
Don't let my bubble burst
The truth hurts

If we never face the issue
Maybe you'll change your mind
I can't see my harm, girl
In buying just a little more time

Truth hurts
Baby, don't say goodbye
Truth hurts
I don't want to see me cry

So get your story straight
Keep it well rehearsed
Do me a favor
Don't let my bubble burst
The truth hurts
