Kris Allen - The Truth Lyrics






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

    You're voice is underrated, #AdamLambert still on the scene
    I hope you try other genre or style on your songs/music, to show your versatility and capability.

    Lyrics:

    Lyin' next to you
    Wishing I could disappear, hey
    Let you fall asleep
    And vanish out into thin air, hey

    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.

    Tryin' to be perfect
    Tryin' not to let you down, yeah
    Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
    While the floors underneath our feet are crumbling
    The walls we built together tumblin'
    I still stand here holdin' 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 losin' 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 an avalanche that looms above our heads
    But we don't believe it.

    Tryin' to be perfect,
    Tryin' not to let you down, yeah
    Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
    While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
    The walls we built together tumblin'
    I still stand here holdin' 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

    Tryin' to be perfect,
    Tryin' not to let you down, yeah
    Honesty is honestly the hardest thing for me right now, yeah
    While the floors underneath our feet are crumblin'
    The walls we built together tumblin'
    I still stand here holdin' up the roof
    'Cause it's easier than telling the truth.

    It's easier than telling the truth

    The issue is while American Idol was in its last years, rap, dirty rap, auto tuned blinged out tools over took top 40 and the recording industry... real singers, playing real music never had a shot.

  50. A.... ....

    Love this song for years...

  51. A.... R....

    Beautiful song😍😍😍😍😍

  52. C.... ....

    I love both Adam and this guy. Adam didn't win AI but he's one of the most amazing artists from that competition, he has personality, he has a style, he has a voice to be a true artist. For Kris, he's so humble and so talented. Maybe he doesn't have a career like Adam but I think he's so underrated and deserves more. Best of luck to both of them.

  53. A.... C....

    Feels like this could be an extra OST for Phantom of the Opera...

  54. A.... A....

    he looks just like Jason wade from lifehouse !!!!

  55. D.... C....

    Continuo amando essa música ❤

    Love Kris, this song is better with just his voice IMHO.

  68. A.... ....

    Ugh... There was an ad for Meghan Trainor's garbage, and I just hate to see that people like it _that_ much, compared to how good this is...

    A.... ....

    lol fyi meghan trainor is a remarkable lyricist and also one of the best female vocalists of our generation! she is beyond talented and beautiful! #HatersGonnaHate #BitchesBeCrying

  69. C.... S....

  76. A.... J....

    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
    Thumbs Up If watching this in FEBRUARY 2016?
    ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

    A.... J....

    Albert Jr Seidel I'm watching in 2018

  77. t.... ....

    My only complaint about Pat M being on this song is that not long after this Train released If It's Love that had the line "flat like an Idol singer"

  78. J.... A....

    excelente colaboración
    excelente vídeo
    excelente voces

  79. S.... W....

    His wife was my teacher when I was in 10th grade

    S.... W....

    Stacy Whorton he used to sing at my church in Conway Arkansas

  80. D.... a....

    Anybody else annoyed with the way Kris pronounces "avalanche"?

    D.... a....

    +Diana and Andrew Nothing kris does annoys me.lol.He does have a slight southern accent but to my ears he pronunces it the same way this northerner does.Are you from another country?Maybe that eplains why it sounds odd to you.

  81. L.... M....

    after 5 years and still amazing music <3

  82. m.... g....

    Pat ruined this song

  83. V.... D....

    Pat Monahan's part is just spot on! Love this version!

  84. C.... W....

    Kris Kristofferson is quite the manly man and spells his name the same way, you idiot!  You need your hearing checked also!

  85. C.... D....

    Still loving this song 7/11/15...

  86. W.... R....

    The Truth made it on The Positive Psychology of Kris Allen Podcast! Check it out to hear how the messages in Kris's music can have a positive impact on your life at https://www.podomatic.com/episodes/7654757

  87. D.... P....

    First of all, Kris Allen spells his name like a girl. Secondly, he is not a great singer. Pat Monahan is an excellent singer and songwriter, and definitely carries the song. This song actually has some pretty good lyrics, but Kris Allen is a mediocre singer. Sorry bud. Find something you are great at, and do it. If you wrote the song, my apologies. Great lyrics, not so great singing by you.

    D.... P....

    +Dennis Pennington He didn't choose the spelling of his name, not that his name is even relevant to his voice...and most fans agreed that Pat ruins the song. Just saying!

    D.... P....

    Lol, guys, honestly, Pat is an amazing singer and has one of the greatest voices I know, I agree that his singing in the bridge wasn't his best, but even Pat's mediocre singing is really good. I didn't really know Kris before hearing this, and I think he comes very close to Pat. Also, Dennis please stop being stupid. Do what you're great at? Fuck that, do what you love. If I was great at math or football I wouldn't do it, because I don't like it. I would rather be terrible at doing what I really love

  88. N.... K....

    This video is genius!

  89. J.... T....

    Pat Monahan and Kris Allen views 688K? for fvcking sake, humans why you like music's w/ lots of auto tune? :(

    J.... T....

    +Jercel Tumaque I cannot agree more dude (y)

  90. L.... 8....

    I prefer Aj McLean from the BSB :) Kris is kind of average to me

    L.... 8....

    @Linda 82 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    L.... 8....

    Interesting comparison of sorts. Kris is amazing but nowhere near the caliber of AJ.

  91. c.... ....

    why why whyyyyy...this song...this video need to be more than 6 million...

  92. s.... p....

    an artist should be more dedicated to his work . and that's what KRIS ALLEN do . Pretty much <3 <3 :D

  93. T.... P....

    beautifull song by my favourites singers, perfect!!! grazie mille per questa gioia :D

  94. K.... s....

    Where the hell Did this guy go?!

    K.... s....

    @Kevlin soatrome I have no idea but he needs to come back already, damn it.

    K.... s....

    What you talking about bro

    K.... s....

    @DailyVlog SeanSpliedt He goone bro. He bye bye.
    No but seriously. I haven't heard from him in years and it's sad since he was so good.
    What did you think I was talking about..?

    K.... s....

    @Kevlin soatrome His 3rd album Horizons came out in Aug.produced by a grammy award producer.The song Lost was featured on TVD and Arrow.Amazing song and album.You can stream it on his YT channel.He actually tours all the time with his band and is an incredible live singeri see him in the NY area several times a year.

    K.... s....

    @Kevlin soatrome he still have gigs I think he doesnt need more fame...

  95. s.... ....

    This guy isn't a-list but I respect him more than 99% of the celebrities out there.

    s.... ....

    I love Kris Allen he's a very good artist and a humble person, he a great guy. Kris is underrated he's a true artist and should be A-List

    s.... ....

    DailyVlog SeanSpliedt I agree with you

  96. N.... H....

    I actually really really like this song

  97. L.... Y....

    Tryin' to be perfect
    Tryin' not to let you down, yeah
    Honesty is honestly
    The hardest thing for me right now, yeah

  98. B.... Y....

    Sleepy song XD zzz

  99. b.... ....

    Two of the best singers ever and both sexy as hell!
