Amneris: 
 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
