Jonathan Groff
The Truth
[JASE]
The truth is
The truth is hard to explain
Because the truth is
The truth can shift and change

The truth is
The truth is all about you
And your honest point of view

And what’s true for you
Doesn’t have to be true forever
And sometimes the truth isn’t always
For the better

It’s something that we aspire to
Or maybe, that’s something we say

[JUDITH]
Until it gets in the way
And you’re just putting words on a feeling

[JASE]
I’m not talking about cold, hard facts
Like science, the alphabet, or math
[JUDITH]
But the truth you use to keep track
Of who you are and why you act
The way you act

[BOTH]
But the truth is
The truth doesn’t exist in
Black and white
And sometimes two sides
Can both be right

[JUDITH]
The truth is that you will never really know

[BOTH]
The truth

[JASE]
Is that you will only think you know

[BOTH]
What’s true for you
Doesn’t have to be true forever
And sometimes the truth isn’t always
For the better
It’s something that we aspire to
Or maybe, that’s something we say

[JASE]
Until it gets in the way

[JUDITH]
Until it gets in the way

[BOTH]
The truth is that you will never really know
The truth is that you will only think you know

The truth is that you will never really know (I hear you now)
The truth is that you will only think you know (I hear you now)

The truth is that you will never really know (I hear you now)
The truth is that you will only think you know (I hear you now)

The truth can change
The truth is
