Below, you will find the lyrics for The Truth by James Blunt.
Verse 1
It's a long, lonely road that i've walked on my own
Never thought i'd end up in this place
I went fast, i went slow, then i gave up all hope
'cause i know, either way, it's the same
Chorus 1
And i'm not tryna find somebody
'cause no one else but you will do
Yeah, the real thing is gold, how i wish i could hold you
I wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But i had to go to my worst so i'd know that i just needed you
As i look out at the morning sun
There's no escape from the things i've done
And out of everything i've lost, now i know that i just needed you
And darling, that's the truth
Verse 2
I don't lie anymore in a heap on the floor
'cause i'm clear on the road i must take
Chorus 2
And i'm not tryna find somebody
'cause no one else but you will do
I'm getting closer, stumbling over everything i need to say to you
I wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But i had to go to my worst so i'd know that i just needed you
As i look out at the morning sun
There's no escape from the things i've done
And out of everything i've lost, now i know that i just needed you
And darling, that's the truth
And darling, that's the truth
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bridge
I will search with every fiber
If you're out there, leave a light on
'cause the distance is getting wider
And i know i've gotta find ya
Chorus 3
I wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But i had to go to my worst so i'd know that i just needed you
As i look out at the morning sun
There's no escape from the things i've done
And out of everything i've lost, now i know that i just needed you
And darling, that's the truth
And darling, that's the truth
And darling, that's the truth
