I Know the Truth

Amneris
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 have been my time 
It's over - it never began 
I closed my eyes to so much for so long 
And I no longer can 

I try to blame it on fortune 
Some kind of shift in a star 
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

Why do I want him still? 
Why when there's nothing there? 
How to go on with the rest of my life 
To pretend I don't care 
This should have been my time 
It's over - it never began 
I closed my eyes to so much for so long 
and I no longer can 

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 

Oh I know the truth and it mocks me 
I know the truth and it shocks me 
I learned it a little too late 
Too late
Too late
