Honestly

Today I face the world alone,

because it’s how I feel.

Racing down a dead end road;

the signs have been concealed.

 

You said you wanna be together

and you were talkin’ 'bout forever.

I guess that I should have known better,

forever’s changing with the weather.

 

You’re falling off the trees like leaves.

You think you know what true loves means,

but I fear you’re just lonely;

I’m not the one who can complete.

 

All I want is honesty,

don’t make yourself hard to believe.

If you can’t, don’t promise me.

Don’t say you will and then deceive.

 

Honestly, don’t tell me honestly

when you aren’t honest with me.

Promise me, that you you’ll always be;

don’t say you’ll maybe be.

 

Cause I’d rather be alone than used,

my purpose not for your amuse.

Ask me to give my heart to you,

I’ll hand it over somewhat bruised.
