Tell Me That It Isn't True

The words

A man hears rumors that his lover has left him for someone else and begs her to deny them.

A man has heard talk around town that the woman he loves has found someone new and is ready to leave him. He does not accuse her; instead he pleads with her to say the stories are false, his worry growing as the gossip piles up. The song stays in that anxious, hopeful moment of not yet knowing. It is a gentle, mid-tempo country ballad, sung in a smooth voice over piano, organ and a relaxed Nashville band.
