The Truth by James Blunt

The Truth
James Blunt
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 (1)________ 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 wasted all of these days and nights
Trying to chase all these (2)__________ 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 (3)____________ from the things I've done
And out of (4)____________________ 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

And I'm not (5)__________ find somebody
'Cause no one (6)________ 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 (7)__________ all these empty highs
But I had to go to my worst so I'd know that I just (8)____________ you
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
As I look out at the morning sun
There's no escape from the (9)____________ 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
