Marcella Fruehan Truth Is (Official Music Video)

I wrote this song to express my feelings in support of anti-bullying. As a 16 year old I see a lot going on around me; especially with bullying and the effects that it has on those who are bullied and what lengths teens will go to to "get away" from it all. I want you to know suicide is never the answer. Truth is...you are loved, you are not alone...you are never alone.

LYRICS:

Truth Is...

truth is, you were an outcast, lonely and pushed back, feeling so small
truth is, you were invisible, unnoticed and miserable, a fly on a wall
truth is, you never had much, reclusive and out of touch, nobody got you
truth is, you weren't even needed, always mistreated, black and blue

truth is, you couldn't handle it, no they just wouldn't quit, or leave you alone
truth is, confusion was setting in, knew that you couldn't win, out on your own
truth is, you tried to ignore it, but you couldn't forget, you're not that tough
truth is, the sticks and the stones, cut right to the bone, you had enough

====================================
take it all away, the pain that haunts
all the things you hate, it's just too much
all the lies and the shame, and the hurt and the blame
can't hold on no more
take it all away
====================================

truth is, the pressure was building, and your head was filling, with all of their lies
truth is, your heart was aching, insanity glazing over your eyes
truth is, you needed to stop it, just couldn't stop it, out of control
truth is, your world's turning black now, no turning back now, or saving your soul

truth is, your mind was racing, manic and pacing, ready to end it all
truth is, went to the closet, that's when you saw it, your father's gun
truth is, felt you were breaking, hands started shaking, metal so cold
truth is, you pulled that trigger, you didn't figure, you'd feel the bullet

====================================
take it all away, the pain that haunts
all the things you hate, it's just too much
take it all away, its all I want
all the things they say, it hurts too much
all the lies and the shame, and the hurt and the blame
can't hold on no more
take it all away
====================================

truth is, you weren't really hated, it's your friends that saved you, tackled you to the floor
truth is, the bullet it missed you, death only kissed you, letting you go
truth is, it wasn't worth it, life isn't perfect, despite what you think
truth is, you were loved, and no matter what, nobody wants you gone

Thank you all for the kind words and support! It really means a lot to me. The screenplay for this video was written by Benjamin Davis and Tyler Hiott. Benjamin was our director and Tyler was our editor. The amazing director of photography was Greg Cotten!  It was a blessing and honor to work with these people and everyone else who worked really hard behind the scenes (DJP Mobile Productions)! I love and appreciate you all! (:

This had been on repeat for the past hour on my computer, I am one of the officers of a Rachels Challenge group at VAHS and this video is being shown at the next meeting, this is better than any speech or presentation I've seen against bullying!

[Current2013]

I'm sixteen as well, and as a gay teen I'm lucky to go to an extremely open-minded and relatively calm high school - I can't imagine what it must be for anyone who's bullied. Your video is extremely inspiring. I hope that anyone who sees this can realize that you're not alone, and there are always better places in your future. This video was extremely well-made. Great job!

this explains how i feel totally i may only be in 8th grade but the bullying is still horrible and most of it is aimed at me i have had thoughts of suicide soo many times but someone was always there so i couldnt and i also have scars on my wrist because of this.........but this song has helped me realize that there are other people going through the same things

[TCampman96]

[KikoRunasu]

@RealistGirl2012 your just jealous

[lolitteo]

@marcellafruehan i love it ♥

[KikoRunasu]

suicide is never the answer. truth is, it doesn't take away any pain. it just affects the others that knew and still know you. you my think that the only way to get out of the pain is to 'end it all' but your wrong. there are other ways. talk about it. it may seem pointless, but it helps. if anyone who reads this has a friend in destress, ask them whats wrong. if you see anyone whos in this much pain, help them. i had a friend like this, and luckly we became friends fast enough.

[caseymonk33]

I hate u if u disliked!!

[agaxD4]

You're amazing. DO you write another songs? :)

[zbird747]

best song i have ever heard but it is also sad 

[Seviane6]

best song in the world, I love it!

[Bazzns]

Never give up, live fast, train hard, show everybody what you r worth!

... and be happy.

[caseymonk33]

Made me cry! :'(

[scottyhughesjr]

I am sure that this song reaches the heart of many and more so the past of many. More kids are bullied than most would like to think. And I personally can say the words hit home like a bullet. Great song. And GREAT video.

[leomontagna92]

wonderful voice, really :) and nice lyrics too :)
