I'll Be Honest

I asked her to stay

But she had some other plans

So I held my breath and watched our dreams wash away

Lost in a haze

Trying to figure ways

To hang on to a love we lost along the way

Babe, we tried to work it out

But in the end, the best way's out

I'll be honest

I gotta be honest

'Cause it's so hard for me to be the one

You need when you're not here

I lost a friend, a bitter end

You oughta know, frankly, you don't see me

But it still hurts for me to see the one I need with someone else

He loves your smile, you love his style

I wanna know, frankly, do you miss me?

Honestly

So, you want the truth?

You're probably gonna laugh at me

I still read the letters that you gave to me

But what we have is all we ever should be

Yeah, you want me to stay and I want you to let go

I wish there was a way we could see it through

But you know, deep down

I just gotta be honest

'Cause it's so hard for me to see you hurt

You know that we just wouldn't work

I'm still here as a friend

Yeah, you should know that I still care

And honestly, I want you to stay

But I know you'll take it the wrong way

I think it's time that you be honest with yourself

Yeah, honestly

I gotta be honest

I gotta be honest

I gotta be honest

I asked her to stay

But she had some other plans

So I held my breath and watched our dreams wash away
