I Know the Truth (From "Aida")

I Know the Truth - The New Musical Cast

Written by：Timothy Miles Bindon Rice/Elton John

How did 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 have been my time

It's over it never began

I closed my eyes to so much for so long

And I no longer can

I try to blame it on fortune

Some kind of shift in a star

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

Why do I want him still

Why when there's nothing there

How to go on with the rest of my life

To pretend I don't care

This should've been my time

It's over-it never began

I closed my eyes to so much for so long

And I no longer can

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

Oh I know the trth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

I learned it a little too late
