La Verité

When we were young so many times we heard them say
How love comes to us all in many different ways
Now I know (oui je sais)
Oui je sais (oui je sais)
La verité

They didn't warn us of the disappointments too
One-sided love affairs are really nothing new
Now I know (oui je sais)
Oui je sais (oui je sais)
La verité

All my life I thought I'd know when love found me
By the sun its happiness all around me
Now grey skies are gathering up above me
I'm the fool I know and you don't think of me

I tried to come to terms with this reality
It's hard to take but then it's harder still to me
Now I know (oui je sais)
Maintenant je sais (oui je sais)
La verité

All my life I thought I'd know when love found me
By the sun its happiness all around me
Now grey skies are gathering up above me
I'm the fool I know and you don't think of me

All my life I thought I'd know when love found me
By the sun its happiness all around me
Now grey skies are gathering up above me
I'm the fool I know and you don't think of me

I know you're never going to remember me
I'll just be a friend if that's the only role that's free
Sometimes I wonder why your eyes choose not to see
The tide is [?] an open mystery
Now I know (oui je sais)
Maintenant je sais (oui je sais)
