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 wish that 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, stumbling over

Everything I need to say to you

I wish that 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, Heavenly Father

If you're out there, leave a light on

'Cause the distance is getting wider

And I know I've gotta find ya

I wish that 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
