Truth Is A WhisperThe Goo Goo Dolls

Songwriter: John Rzeznik

[Verse 1]
Truth is a whisper and only a choice
Nobody hears above this noise
There's always a risk when you try to believe
I know that there's so much more than me
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I got caught in the ruse of the world
It's a just a promise no one ever keeps
And now it's changing while you sleep
And no one here can see

[Chorus]
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something

[Verse 2]
Sometimes you choke on the smell just to breathe
I need to question what I need
Rhythm of silence
That beats through your mind
Still you forget what you deny
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
And I got caught in the ruse of the world
It's a just a promise no one ever keeps
And now it's changing in your sleep
And no one here can see

[Chorus]
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something

[Verse 3]
Who's the one you answer to
Do you listen when he speaks
Or is everything for you
And do you find it hard to sleep
Or is it easy on your own
Will you ever find some peace
Before you're gone

[Chorus]
You know all I am
Feel this moment in you
You know all I am
Can you teach me to believe in something

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
