the truth

Singer: james blunt

it' 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

and i'm not tryna find somebody

'cause no one else but you will do

yeah

the real thing is gone

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 go to my worst so

i 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 that i've lost

now i know that i just needed you

and darling

that's the truth

i don't lie anymore

in a heap on the floor

'cause i'm clear on the road

i must take

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 go to my worst so

i 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 that i've lost

now i know that i just needed you

and darling

that's the truth

and darling

that's the truth

out of touch with every fibre

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 go to my worst so

i 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 lost

now i know that i just needed you

and darling

that's the truth

and darling

that's the truth

darling

that's the truth
