The Truth - Tanya Stephens

Well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride

I’d get past my pride, you’d be by my side

I wouldn’t be holding on to memories

I wouldn’t need them, you’d be here with me

That I was separate and complete, was my confusion

But I got a much different story tonight

Just look at me now

A shadow of my former glory and the moral of my story is…

Oh oh, keep wishing

Just look at me now

A shadow of my former glory

And the moral of my story is.

Just look at me now

A shadow of my former glory

And the moral of my story is it may seem
