Lyrics

If It Wasn't True

[Verse]

I'm sitting on the couch feeling alone

I don't feel right 'cause no one's home

I start to think about the things in the past

The feelings were right, the fun always lasts

Your kiss, it was so sweet, it meant everything

It felt like commitment without a ring

Now I feel like we don't have no fun

This isn't for me, I don't like what we've become, become

Now we just fight and I can't look at you

The silent treatment is all that we do

I tried to let you know that you were wrong

But all it did was keep you gone

I wanna cry, I wanna feel emotions now

I'm kicking and screaming and having a cow

Now I can't even talk to you, I guess this is it

I guess that we are through, are through

[Hook]

But girl

I woulda known about it

I woulda known about it

If it wasn't true

But girl

I woulda known about it

I woulda known about it

If it wasn't true

[Bridge]

(True, true, true, true)

(True, true, true, true)

(True, true, true, true)

[Verse]

The sun is out and there's no more clouds

I feel I can approach you now

I can't be with you without feeling down

Yeah, we can't speak without a single shout

We took some time to heal all our wounds

Now what was made by me and you?

Now we can let go of the little things

This isn't love, I guess that it was

[Hook]

Girl

I woulda known about it

I woulda known about it

If it wasn't true

But girl

I woulda known about it

I woulda known about it

If it wasn't true

I woulda known about it

I woulda known about it

If it wasn't true

But girl

I woulda known about it

I woulda known about it

If it wasn't true
