I Know The Truth Lyrics - 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 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 

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 truth and it mocks me 

I know the truth and it shocks me 

I learned it a little too late, too late
