'to tell' is used when you are interacting with somebody. For example "He told me about his great new job."
'to say' is used when you just say something. E.g. "He said he needed to go outside."

'Tell the truth' is a standard fixed phrase.
That's all you need to know.
Just learn it and remember it.
