Lyrics: I Know The Truth
Album: Unknown

(duet with elton john)

How have i come to this

How did i slip and fall

How did i throw half a lifetime away

Without any thought at all

This should’ve been my time

It’s over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side

I simply turned and ran

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate

But i know the truth and it haunts me

I learned it a little too late

I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

I learned it a little too late

People have faith in me

I think i once did too

I promise whoever has a hold on our lives

I’ll see the bad times through

This should have been my time

It’s over, it never began

Facing a world, for once not on my side

I simply turned and ran

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of shift in the stars

But i know the truth and it haunts me

It’s flown just a little too far

I know the truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

It’s flown just a little too far

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of twist in my fate

But i know the truth and it haunts me

I learned it a little too late
