The Truth Is a Terrible Thing Lyrics
Nervous and you're tearing at the seams
the lights are too bright and you've got cold feet
you look the part, and you're only seventeen
can you drag me up and show me what we're missing out on
Don't waste your time
we've heard it all before
we've had enough and hangers on and "friends" we didn't want
Don't waste your time
we've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more
You're a star but you havn't been turned on
Think you can shine this way the whole way to the top
oh oh oh
are you sure it's what you want?
Call it luck, call it too much
The truth is a terrible thing, don't you think?
The truth is a terrible thing, don't you think?
the lights are too bright and you've got cold feet
you look the part, and you're only seventeen
can you drag me up and show me what we're missing out on
we've heard it all before
we've had enough and hangers on and "friends" we didn't want
Don't waste your time
we've heard it all before
We've had it up to heels and head and we won't take no more
Think you can shine this way the whole way to the top
oh oh oh
are you sure it's what you want?
Call it luck, call it too much
The truth is a terrible thing, don't you think?

I think it might be about the band's path to now, nervous at the first few gigs, rising to be stars.
But thats just my view on it. Any suggestions?
talking about people being fake and using them and their popularity to get stuff for themselves? and wanting to say that they don't need them and don't want to be around them?
i dunno just the vibe i'm getting from them
*it. not them haha
i think its "of hangers on and friends we didnt want" thats just what i hear although it says and in the lyrics its a bloody amazing song
its about people who suddenly become your best friend because you have something they want josh probably wrote it more specifically about people being there best friends because they are in a huge band
