We agree. Put in terms of possible worlds (some prefer the notion of models), we don't know which possible world we are in precisely, given that we are finite beings with very finite knowledge. So in a way truth is relative-to-a-world, but that is just as it should be. If the state of affairs were different, different statements should be true.
