I Know The Truth by Janet Jackson

(duet with 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've 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 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

I learned it a little too late



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 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

It's flown just a little too far



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
