Righteous - Anggun

Many I love yous I’ve wasted

Guess I didn’t understand it well

It wasn’t the truth but it felt right

All the tears that I have tasted

I knew they were not always justified

This weakness seem to serve me right

Many of us are pretending

To be the people that we aren’t

Like a wolf in sheep’s clothing

Left in the dark without a sight

Of anything but pieces of broken heart

Now we sleep with one open eye

Everybody wants the truth but no one wants to be honest

Everybody gets confused between the evil and righteous

Everybody wants the truth but no one wants to be honest

And we’re all standing between the evil and righteous

If I told you that I’m sorry

Would you tell me that you understand

Or would you indulge in my own guilt?

'Cause we’re sensitive

There is no innocence told in this world

Paid for less than that I have learned

Many come to know the secret

Of the goodness and divine

Playing God and preaching mortals

And who knows where we go from here

If there is an afterlife for us

If there’s hell, if there is heaven

Everybody wants the truth but no one wants to be honest

Everybody gets confused between the evil and righteous

Everybody wants the truth but no one wants to be honest

And we’re all standing between the evil and righteous

Thin lines between our heads and our hearts

There’s more than just what’s wrong or right

Why we need to redefine

The changes from your side of mind

Everybody wants the truth but no one wants to be honest

Everybody gets confused between the evil and righteous

Everybody wants the truth but no one wants to be honest

And we’re all standing between the evil and righteous

And we’re all standing between the evil and righteous
