Lyrics

Honest

[Verse 1]

We don't communicate, can you not say what's on your mind?

And I see that every day you hide the truth behind your eyes

Honestly, there's no need for you to hide

Talk to me, can't you see I'm on your side?

[Pre-Chorus]

Honest, honest

[Chorus]

Say what it is you're trying to say

But if you lie to me again

I will be the one that walks away

Is it in you to be honest, honest?

Is it in you to be honest?

[Verse 2]

I still remember the day we met, I was hanging on your every word

I didn't think I would ever let somebody see into my world

Honestly, can't you see I'm on your side?

[Chorus]

Say what it is you're trying to say

But if you lie to me again

I'll be the one that's walkin' away

Is it in you to be honest, honest?

Is it in you to be honest?

[Bridge]

Is it all in my head or was it something I said?

Because I'm trying to forgive, and now I'm trying to forget

You're telling me all of this, no more hearin' of it

It was all just a lie, was it all just a lie?

Now I'm walking away 'cause everything that you said

All that you ever tell to me is lies, lies

[Pre-Chorus]

Honest, honest

Is it in you to be honest?

[Chorus]

Say what it is you're trying to say

But if you lie to me again

I will be the one that walks away

Is it in you to be honest, honest?

Is it in you to be honest?

Is it in you to be honest?
