Music by elton john Lyrics by tim rice Produced by jimmy jamm and terry lewis Duet with janet jackson Available on the album elton john and tim rice's aida
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've been my time It's over, it never began Facing a world, for once not on my side I simply turned and ran
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
I know the truth and it mocks me I know the truth and it shocks me I learned it a little too late
People have faith in me I think I once did too I promise whoever has a hold on our lives I'll see the bad times through
This should have been my time It's over, it never began Facing a world, for once not on my side I simply turned and ran
I try to blame it on fortune Some kind of shift in the stars 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
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
