Truth Be Told by Chappell Roan is a powerful anthem addressing the woman who falsely accused her of infidelity while hiding her own adulterous actions and failing as a parent. The song confronts the deception and hypocrisy, urging the truth to come to light.
Verse 1:
Words spread like wildfire, you set me ablaze
You claimed I stole moments, your marriage betrayed
But darling, let's face it, you played the same game
While pointing your finger, you forget your own shame
Pre-Chorus:
Did you think the world was blind?
Hiding shadows in your mind
I'm not the villain in your tale
Your lies won't ever tilt the scale
Chorus:
Truth be told, it's your story that's cracked
While you were out cheating, I stayed intact
You called me a sinner, but look in the mirror
Truth be told, it’s your tale that’s unclear
Verse 2:
Whispers from your children, lost in the night
You're chasing shadows, neglecting their light
It’s funny how you paint me with disgrace
But behind closed doors, it’s you who shows a different face
Pre-Chorus:
Did you think the world was blind?
Hiding shadows in your mind
I'm not the villain in your tale
Your lies won't ever tilt the scale
Chorus:
Truth be told, it's your story that's cracked
While you were out cheating, I stayed intact
You called me a sinner, but look in the mirror
Truth be told, it’s your tale that’s unclear
Bridge:
All the secrets you’ve kept, all the hearts that you've stepped on
Will come to the light, and your reign will be gone
Children need mothers who show them the way
Not one who loses her soul every day
Chorus:
Truth be told, it's your story that's cracked
While you were out cheating, I stayed intact
You called me a sinner, but look in the mirror
Truth be told, it’s your tale that’s unclear
Outro:
Now everyone knows, the mask you wore is sold
And the truth that you hid, finally unfolds
You tried to break me, but I remained whole
Truth be told, it's your heart that’s cold

Its directed at the woman who claimed you slept with her husband but she was really the cheater the whole time and a bad mom
