You, Me And The Truth - Big Country

There may be trouble ahead

There may be light in the distance

It may be something you said

Maybe my lack of resistance

It took you so long to be young

And just a second to be old

Leave me a moment in the sun

I’ve got forever to be cold

Some people can find a way

To get this thing together

But there’s me and there’s you

Then there’s the truth

How did you learn to be kind

Where did you learn to be honest

How do you learn to be blind

Why do you whisper the promise

If you can’t have what you want

Why don’t you use what you’ve got

I won’t do things that I can’t

I can’t be something that I’m not

Some people can find a way

To get this thing together

But there’s me and there’s you

Then there’s the truth

Some people can find a way

To get this thing together

But there’s me and there’s you

Then there’s the truth

Maybe we should just be friends

Maybe we’d be better strangers

I know that everything ends

I know the color of danger

All we do is hide the fire

We just forget about the smoke

Is that a smile with a future

Or just a farewell to hope

Some people could find a way

To get the whole thing together

But there’s me and there’s you

Then there’s the truth

Some people can find a way

To get this thing together

But there’s me and there’s you

Then there’s the truth

But there’s me and there’s you

Then there’s the truth
