The Truth

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
