In “The Truth I’ll Never Tell”, Patty sings about his pain and the hurt it causes to hold it inside. Similarly to “The Stigma (Boys Don’t Cry)” and “Okay”, he holds his emotions and feelings inside, this time emphasising that he won’t say a word in an attempt to protect a lover from seeing his pain.
[Verse 1]
How long's it been, it must be months
I swear this time I meant to keep in touch
Like always
I'm calmly coasting off the rails
My teeth in battle with my fingernails
Like always
[Pre-Chorus]
And I could tell you how I've really been
But would you even want to know
[Chorus]
Don't want to bring you down, down, down
If I open my mouth I'm only gonna bring you
Down, down, down
Bring you down, down, down
Bring you down
[Verse 2]
I organise the kitchen shelf
But I've been dwelling on my mental health
Like always
I’m bitter when I feel alone
I consciously confiscate my phone
It's a small change
[Pre-Chorus]
And I could tell you how I've really been
But would you even want to know
[Chorus]
Don't want to bring you down, down, down
If I open my mouth I'm only gonna bring you
Down, down, down
Bring you down, down, down
Feel the darkest cloud creeping in
I'd tell you but I wouldn't want to bring you
Down, down, down
Bring you down, down, down
Bring you down
[Bridge]
Turn around, you're gone again
I know I'll see you now and then
You say hello and how you've been
I say that I'm not better yet
Turn around, you're gone again
I know I'll see you now and then
You say hello and how you've been
I say that I'm not better yet
Turn around, you're gone again
I know I'll see you now and then
You say hello and how you've been
I say that I
[Chorus]
Don't want to bring you down, down, down
If I open my mouth I'm only gonna bring you
Down, down, down
Bring you down, down, down
Feel the darkest cloud creeping in
I'd tell you but I wouldn't want to bring you
Down, down, down
Bring you down, down, down
Bring you down
[Outro]
Down (down, down, down)
Bring you down (down, down, down)
Down (down, down, down)
Bring you down (down, down, down)
