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...
