Honestly

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...honestly...honestly Alone in my bed The things that you said Go 'round in my head... still It seems to be true That nothing I do Can influence you... I tried and tried again... (Don't you know that 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 your attention, I see... (You'd think that something would 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 (So easily, so easily.) Honestly...honestly...honestly Alone in my bed The things that you said Go 'round in my head... still It seems to be true That nothing I do Can influence you... still Fools like me get so easily taken And fools like me can be so mistaken Honestly...honestly...honestly The promise that you gave... (Don't you know that the promise that you gave Just turned its back upon me I stopped believing that you couldn't Take the whole thing from me) ...has turned its back on me... (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" (I told you so, I told you so.) Honestly...honestly...honestly Everything I know you said Going 'round inside my head Never thought I'd see the day Always got a price to pay Nothing that I ever do Ever seems to get to you...
