I Know the Truth

I Know The Truth is the nineteenth song in Elton John's and Tim Rice's musical Aida

Lyrics
Amneris: 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 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 truth and it mocks me

I know the truth and it shocks me

I learned it a little too late

Too late...
