Tell the Truth
Embrace Truth: The Avett Brothers' Revelations on Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Tell the truth to yourself and the rest will fall in place
Telling the truth to oneself is pivotal; when done, everything else aligns.
Tell the truth to yourself and the rest will fall in place
Reiterating the importance of personal honesty leading to harmony in life.
I lied to the doctor
Admits to deceiving a medical professional.
I lied to my lover
Admits to being dishonest with a romantic partner.
I wanna make amends, but where do I start
Expresses the desire to make things right, seeking a starting point for making amends.
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
Direct plea to acknowledge and accept personal truth.
Tell the truth
An urgent call to embrace honesty within oneself.
(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
Willingness to give to others whatever they desire.
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 single truth given to thyself)

I was the coward

I strangled your heart
