La Verité

We were young
So many times we heard them say
How love comes to a soul
In many different ways

Now I know
(Will you say)
Will you say
(Will you say)
La verité?

They didn't warn us
Of the disappointments too
One-sided love affairs
Are really nothing new

Now I know
(Will you say)
Will you say
(Will you say)
La verité?

All life had gone and nowhere love found me
By the sun, it's happiness all around me
Now
Gray skies are gathering up above me
I'm the fool, I know that you don't think of me

I try to come to terms
With this reality
It's hard to take the pain
It's harder still to me

Now I know
(Will you say)
Why don't you say
(Will you say)
La verité?

All my life had gone and nowhere love found me
By the sun, it's happiness all around me
Now
Gray skies are gathering up above me
I'm the fool, I know that you don't think of me

All my life had gone and nowhere love found me
By the sun, it's happiness all around me
Now
Gray skies are gathering up above me
I'm the fool, I know that you don't think of me

I know you'll never come
To love a man like 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 has left you as
A moment in history

Now I know
(Will you say)
Why won't you say
(Will you say)
La verité
(Will you say)
