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 onto 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
