Lyrics
Its True
We get on so well together
Through the good and the bad
Sharing the happy, sharing the sad
Content and stable
Whatever may come
A comfort to come home to
My only one
Chorus
Why must we go away
When we want each other near
Comes a time when we pay
For what we do
Its true
Verse
You have to know it
Sure my eyes betray
Someone else in my life
When my mind's away
Understands me
In different ways than you
Makes me feel so important
Can't say why but its true
Chorus
Why must we go away
When we want each other near
Comes a time we pay
For what we do
Its true
Verse
Should have known better
When I wrote it in a letter
That I'd have to hurt someone I love
How could I be leavin'
What was I believin'
Keepin a double life
Keepin up a double life
Somehow I never told you
From back then to today
Can't be content just in myself
I never learned that way
I won't argue
Can't defend my point of view
I never wanted to be leavin'
Its awful hard but its true
Chorus
Why must we go away
When we want each other near
Comes a time we pay
For what we want
Why must we go away
When we want each other near
Comes a time we pay
For what we want
Its true.......
