My Strongest Suit (reprise) *(from Aida)
Amneris:
I may leave a great impression
As I race through a succession
Of the latest crazes, chase the newest fad
I feel better when beguiling
Find that fashion keeps me smiling
But in my heart I know it's rather sad

Aida:
That a life of great potential
Is dismissed, inconsequential

Amneris:
And only ever seen as being cute
So I'll flutter to deceive

Aida:
Oh no you must believe
That one day you're bound to find

Aida/Amneris:
A Stronger Suit



I Know the Truth (Aida)
How did I come to this?
How did I slip and fall?
How did I throw half a lifetime away
Without any thought at all?

This should have been my time
It's over, it never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
and I no longer can

I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of shift in a star
But I know the truth and it haunts me
it's flown just a little too far
I know the truth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
It's flown just a little too far.

Why do I want him still?
Why when there's nothing there?
How to go on with the rest of my life
To pretend I don't care
This should've been my time
It's over-It never began
I closed my eyes to so much for so long
and I no longer can

I try to blame it on fortune
Some kind of twist in my fate
But I know the truth and it haunts me
I learned it a little too late

Oh I know the trth and it mocks me
I know the truth and it shocks me
I learned it a little too late
Too late
