Lyrics

Honesty
I have plenty of hang-ups and stubborn ways
But I won’t take for granted; the friends I’m with today
And I understand
You won’t stay up past ten

No one ever is aces when they are true
And I’m not trading places; despite what we’ve been through
I know where you are
That same old hayseed bar

Honesty – it’s got a hold on me
Faithfully we’ll agree what’s meant to be

I’ve avoided commitment and wedding bands
Riding life as a solo; dodging the big demands
I’ve been immature
And needed to be sure

Matrimony is hallowed and meant to last
People hasten too often; then split-up far too fast
I’m not pushing you
That isn’t what I do

Honesty – it’s got a hold on me
Faithfully we’ll agree what’s meant to be

I have been too ambitious throughout the years
Being too self-reliant; instead of being here
And I’ve had regrets
Never will I forget

You we’re always so forthright about your work
I was never abandoned; you always called me first
You are welcome back
I wish you’d understand

Honesty – it’s got a hold on me
Faithfully we’ll agree what’s meant to be
Bridge
I’m not going to stand in your way or stay too long
But you’re not taking up any space
But it’s your place
And I would like for you to stay

Honesty – it’s got a hold on me
Faithfully we’ll agree what’s meant to be
Honesty – it’s got a hold on me
Faithfully we’ll agree what’s meant to be
