“Truth Hurts” is the second track from Temper Temper.
According to the Track By Track Commentary (Spotify), the idea and structure of the song came from Padge (lead guitar).
Also in the commentary, frontman Matt Tuck (vocals, rhythm guitar) explains the meaning of the song:
The song lyrically is...
[Verse 1]
One more drink, one more pill
Just one more line to make me feel
Like I have something left to give
‘Cause without it, I'm just giving in
[Pre-Chorus]
This vicious circle has no end
It spirals down and it sends you to hell
There’s nothing here that can save me now
I'm coming up just to come back down
(Come back down)
[Chorus]
Truth hurts and I'm in pain
Truth hurts like a bed of nails
Letting denial eat me up inside
The truth hurts, and it bleeds me dry
[Verse 2]
No more lies, no more games
Is it too late to make a change?
If hope is gone then what’s the point?
This bed's my knife and it cuts my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
A downward spiral takes control
Another chance to sell my soul
There’s no one here that can save me now
I'm coming up just to come back down
(Come back down)
[Chorus]
Truth hurts and I'm in pain
Truth hurts like a bed of nails
Letting denial eat me up inside
The truth hurts, and it bleeds me dry
[Chorus]
Truth hurts and I'm in pain
Truth hurts like a bed of nails
Letting denial eat me up inside
The truth hurts, and it bleeds me dry
[Bridge]
Ah-yah-yah
Ah-yah-yah
Ah-yah-yah
Ah-yah!
[Pre-Chorus]
(Come back down)
[Chorus]
Truth hurts and I'm in pain
Truth hurts like a bed of nails
Letting denial eat me up inside
The truth hurts, and it bleeds me dry
[Chorus]
Truth hurts and I'm in pain
Truth hurts like a bed of nails
Letting denial eat me up inside
The truth hurts, and it bleeds me dry
