Avett Brothers, The - Tell The Truth Lyrics
Tell the truth to yourself and the rest will fall in place
Tell the truth to yourself and the rest will fall in place
I lied to the doctor
I lied to my lover
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...
I could make my mother, my father, my sister, my brother, my lover, my neighbor, my friends all happy...
Give of myself whatever they ask
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 simple truth given to thyself
I was the coward, I that strangled your heart
I wanna make a amends but where do I start
Tell the truth to yourself and the rest will fall in place

Avett Brothers, The Tell The Truth Comments
Very true words of advice
Love this song
This entire album is very lackluster. Their old stuff is great
I liked them better when they had banjos
John A They still have banjos, just not in every single song.
the feels
This is my husband speaking to me - from the otherside. He passed on 4 months ago from a Cocaine overdose. I LOVE U EDDIE!!
Lauren Todd, 🌺
I gave this advice to my children.
Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place
Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place
I lied to the doctor
I lied to my lover
I wanna make amends
But where do I start?
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
Tell the truth
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
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 simple truth given to thyself?
I was the coward
I did strangle your heart
I wanna make amends
But where do I start?
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
And the rest will fall in place
Tell the truth to yourself
And the rest will fall in place

Eli Morton - thanks Eli for pointing that out. Please see added comments above. Cannot forget Bob!
A great song for anyone overcoming addiction, or trying to face reality. Such amazing lyrics.
I'm kind of getting a Jackson Browne vibe from this and I'm diggin it
I know I'm biased, but this album is like the epitome of the last 50 years of great American music. Such a gem
This album blows
You guys deserve more subscribers ❤️❤️❤️
Only two songs in and this is blowing my mind. You guys just keep getting better.
SAME!!!!.....tears in my eyes at the simple yet profound idea of the truth.....to yourself.
this hellish world could learn a thing or two from these humble brothers. i want to hide in their ideas for the rest of my existence....for i wish it were all true. i wish the world was like an avetts song.
@L Ray you can choose to live in that world by creating that world everywhere you go
