I Know the Truth

[Verse 1: Elton John] 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 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 Oh, it's flown just a little too far, yes [Verse 2: Janet Jackson] 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 turn and ran I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of twist in my fate 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 [Elton John & Janet Jackson] 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 Oh, ho, yet, I learned it a little too late
