Big Country - You, Me And The Truth

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
