Truth, Bitter Truth — Marianne Faithfull

Where did it go to my youth, Where did it fade away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth, The truth we didn't want to know ?

What is it ?? do you know ? What is it ?? can i bear it ? Who did it ?? do i care ? Who is it ?? when did it happen and where ?

Why did you let me know, How could you think i'd stand it ? You knew i'd pay you back, I did it, and it happened ?? do you care ?

Where did it go to, my youth ? Where did it fade away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth, The truth we didn't want to know ?

Who is he ?? do you know ? This man of power but a fool. They said he was so high and pure, They also said that he was cruel.

They killed him, did you see ? They knew he couldn't take it. They wanted lies ?? he said the truth. They did it ?? and it happened ?? who cares ?

Where did it go to, my youth ? Where did it slip away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth, The truth they didn't want to know ?

Why did you let me know, How could you think i'd stand it ? You knew i'd pay you back. I did it, and it happened ?? do you care ?

What is it ?? do you know ? Who did it ?? can i bear it ? Who did it ?? do i care ? Who is it ?? when did it happen and where ?

What is it ?? do you know ? Who did it ?? can i bear it ? Who did it ?? do i care ? Who is it ?? when did it happen and where ?

Where did it go to, my youth ? Where did it slip away to ? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth, The truth i didn't want to know ?
