That's the Truth
Love's Deception: George Strait's Revelations in 'That's the Truth'
Lyrics
I said I don't love you, and I ain't never been your fool
I claimed not to love you and insisted I've never been deceived
That's a lie, and that's the truth
This statement is false, and the real situation is the opposite
I said if it's over makes no difference if we're through
I asserted that it doesn't matter if our relationship is over
That's a lie, and that's the truth
This assertion is untrue; the reality is different
I said, go on, I'll be just fine,
I told you to go, claiming I'll be fine on my own
I won't fall apart, or go out of my mind
I won't suffer emotional breakdown or lose my sanity
I said no one could break my heart
I stated confidently that no one could break my heart
But you're living proof
However, your existence proves that statement false
That's a lie, and that's the truth
This is a contradiction – a lie coexisting with the truth
I don't mind the darkness alone in this room
I expressed comfort in the darkness of this room
That's a lie, and that's the truth
This comfort is a falsehood, contrasting with the truth
I like bein' lonely, yeah, I ain't missin' you
I claimed to enjoy loneliness, insisting I don't miss you
That's a lie, and that's the truth
This claim is untrue; the truth is the opposite
I said, go on, I'll be just fine,
Repeated statement of independence and emotional strength
I won't fall apart, or go out of my mind
Reiteration of emotional resilience and stability
I said no one could break my heart
Restating the belief that no one can break my heart
But you're living proof
Contradicted by your presence, proving it false
That's a lie, and that's the truth
Highlighting the coexistence of lies and truths in emotions
And if you find someone
If you find someone who claims greater love than mine
Who says they love you more than I do
This claim is false, and the real depth of love is different
That's a lie, and that's the truth
Repetition emphasizing the contradiction in love declarations
That's a lie, and that's the truth
Reiteration of the complex interplay between lies and truths
