Honesty Anyway

On the first night I ever saw you
from the first time I ever felt your skin
I figured things a little strange
as I began to rearrange myself
when the first sunlight started to appear
I would turn to see if you were here

I harbored not a single doubt
just had to find what you're about inside
I couldn't seem to say good night
until I heard you say alright to me

excuse me, my dear - I just had to say
it's hell without you here
and all my dreams are full of fear
but there's honesty anyway

the first time I knew I made a choice
is when I heard the low-down
sullen sound of your voice

I harbored not a single doubt
just had to find what you're about inside
I couldn't seem to say good night
until I heard you say alright to me

excuse me, my dear - I just had to say
it's hell without you here
and all my dreams are full of fear
but there's honesty anyway

just had to let you know
feels like hell when you're not home
and I sleep alone
but there's honesty anyway
