Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida movie - I Know the Truth lyrics

rate me

Song by Elton John/Janet Jackson<br /><br>

How have I come to this<br>

How did I slip and fall<br>

How did I throw half a lifetime away<br>

Without any thought at all<br>

<br>

This should've been my time<br>

It's over, it never began<br>

Facing a world, for once not on my side<br>

I simply turned and ran<br>

<br>

I try to blame it on fortune<br>

Some kind of twist in my fate<br>

But I know the truth and it haunts me<br>

I learned it a little too late<br>

<br>

I know the truth and it mocks me<br>

I know the truth and it shocks me<br>

I learned it a little too late<br>

<br>

People have faith in me<br>

I think I once did too<br>

I promise whoever has a hold on our lives<br>

I'll see the bad times through<br>

<br>

This should have been my time<br>

It's over, it never began<br>

Facing a world, for once not on my side<br>

I simply turned and ran<br>

<br>

I try to blame it on fortune<br>

Some kind of shift in the stars<br>

But I know the truth and it haunts me<br>

It's flown just a little too far<br>

<br>

I know the truth and it mocks me<br>

I know the truth and it shocks me<br>

It's flown just a little too far<br>

<br>

I try to blame it on fortune<br>

Some kind of twist in my fate<br>

But I know the truth and it haunts me<br>

I learned it a little too late<br>

<br>
