Versuri 05. I Know the Truth

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
