Lyrics
truth or a lie to believe
i asked a wise woman what she thought of the life she?s led and she said ?if you live long enough, you?ll find everybody?s just another love song gone bad.
and we?re searching.?
i thought about me and you, him, her, anybody i?ve ever met
if you live long enough you?ll find what makes the man is everything he never had
and we?re searching for the same things
whether you?re afraid or you?re brave or both
looking for the truth or a lie to believe
we?re searching
and if you?re looking for a ray of hope, better yet ?
a truth or a lie to believe
we?re searching for love inside
somebody to love, a minute, a day or a life
(maybe just to sleep through the night)
i don?t want to go out like someone who never tries.
a friend asked me how i walk through fire, trial and strife and i said ?if you live long enough, you?ll find, right here, right now, may be your best of times.?
and we?re searching for the same things
whether you?re afraid or you?re brave or both
looking for the truth or a lie to believe
we?re searching
and if you?re looking for a ray of hope, better yet ?
a truth or a lie to believe
we?re searching for love inside
somebody to love, a minute, a day or a life
(maybe just to sleep through the night)
i don?t want to go out like someone who never tries.
whether you?re afraid or you?re brave or both
looking for the truth or a lie to believe
and if you?re looking for a ray of hope, better yet ?
a truth or a lie to believe
we?re searching
for love inside
a minute, a day or a life.
can you sleep through the night?
