Honestly

Lyrics

The beauty that you gave
 Has turned upon itself
 And all the things you said
 Evaporated, evaporated
 Was I blind
 Deaf and dumb
 To the words slipped
 From your tongue?
 Honestly
 (Alone in my bed)
 Honestly
 (The things that you said)
 Honestly
 (Go round in my head still)
 Honestly
 (It seems to be true)
 Honestly
 (That nothin' I do)
 Honestly
 (Can influence you)
 (I tried and tried again)
 Don't you know I tried and tried again
 To make you listen to me
 But everything I said it always seemed to go right through you
 (To make you notice me)
 I turned myself into a person that I didn't like
 But please believe me when I say, "I know it wasn't right"
 (But talking to myself)
 I never thought that things would get to be so complicated
 I never thought that you and me would end up so frustrated
 (Won't catch you attention I see)
 You'd think that something had to come from all those good intentions
 But in the end I needed something more than intervention
 Was I mad?
 Foolish me
 To succumb
 So easily
 Honestly
 (Alone in my bed)
 Honestly
 (The things that you said)
 Honestly
 (Go round in my head still)
 Honestly
 (It seems to be true)
 Honestly
 (That nothin' I do)
 Honestly
 (Can influence you still)
 Fools like me
 Get so easily taken
 But fools like me
 Can be so mistaken
 Honestly
 Honestly
 Honestly
 (The promise that you gave)
 Don't you know the promise that you gave just turned it's back upon me
 I stopped believing but you couldn't take the whole thing from me
 (Has turned it's back)
 I never thought I'd have to pay the price to set you free
 (And all you represented was just my projection you see)
 You know I never thought I'd ever live a day without you
 And that's the reason why it makes me sad to think about you
 And you know I never thought I'd make it if you wasn't there
 And now I'm tryin' to eject myself from this despair
 People come
 People go
 Never say
 "I told you so"
 Honestly
 (Alone in my bed)
 Honestly
 (The things that you said)
 Honestly
 (Go round in my head still)
 Honestly
 (It seems to be true)
 Honestly
 (That nothin' I do)
 Ya, honestly
 (Can influence you)
 "Honestly", I said
 (Alone in my bed)
 Honestly
 (The things that you said)
 Honestly
 (Go round in my head still)
 Told you honestly
 (It seems to be true)
 I said, "Honestly"
 (That nothin' I do)
 Honestly
 (Can influence you)
 Everything I know you said
 Goin' round inside my head
 Never thought I'd see the day
 Always got a price to pay
 Nothin' that I ever do
 Ever seems to get to you
