The Truth

[Verse 1] 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) [Pre-Chorus] And I'm not tryna find somebody 'Cause no one else but you will do (Ooh, ooh) Yeah, the real thing is gold, how I wish I could hold you [Chorus] I wasted all of these days and nights Trying to chase all these empty highs But I had to go to my worst so I'd know that I just needed you (Oh-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-oh) And darling, that's the truth (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) [Verse 2] I don't lie anymore in a heap on the floor 'Cause I'm clear on the road I must take (Ooh, ooh) [Pre-Chorus] And I'm not tryna find somebody 'Cause no one else but you will do (Ooh, ooh) I'm getting closer, stumbling over everything I need to say to you [Chorus] I wasted all of these days and nights Trying to chase all these empty highs But I had to go to my worst so I'd know that I just needed you (Oh-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-oh) And darling, that's the truth (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) And darling, that's the truth Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [Bridge] I will search with every fiber If you're out there, leave a light on 'Cause the distance is getting wider And I know I've gotta find ya [Chorus] I wasted all of these days and nights Trying to chase all these empty highs But I had to go to my worst so I'd know that I just needed you (Oh-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-oh) And darling, that's the truth (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) And darling, that's the truth (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) And darling, that's the truth
