Lyrics The Truth - James Blunt

The Truth

It's a long, lonely road
That I've walked on my own
Never thought I'd end up in this place (ooh-ooh)
I went fast, I went slow
Then I gave up all hope
'Cause I know, either way, it's the same (ooh-ooh)
And I'm not tryna find somebody
'Cause no one else but you will do (ooh-ooh)
Yeah, the real thing is gone
Now 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 through my worse so I know that I just needed you (oh-oh-oh-oh)
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 (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I don't lie anymore
In a heap on the floor
'Cause I'm clear on the road I must take (ooh-ooh)
And I'm not tryna find somebody
'Cause no one else but you will do (ooh-ooh)
I'm getting close, I'm 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 through my worse so I know that I just needed you (oh-oh-oh-oh)
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 (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
I was searching, 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
I wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these empty highs
But I had to go through my worse so I know that I just needed you (oh-oh-oh-oh)
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 (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth (oh-oh-oh-oh)
And darling, that's the truth
