Honest

Original

Oh, I raced headfirst down the old stone road

To the bridge outside Kilteel

And I held my breath on that frosty mornin'

Dreamin' maybe you're still there

Now I know in my heart that the original sin

Was never showin' you my mind

'Fore you crossed that sea, you left this land

And left my love behind

But my heart's too honest

All my colours spillin' out

'Cause I know you're all I want, want

Have we missed our moment?

How could fate be so unfair?

'Cause I know you're all I want, want

Now my father stands in the middle of the road, sayin'

"Boy where have you been?

You've been out all night chasin' dogs and ghosts

And this hill has taken down good men"

It's been dark so long, she's so damn bright

I can barely get myself to leave

I don't do this much, no, it's not like me, he said

"I know just what you mean"

But my heart's too honest

All my colours spillin' out

'Cause I know you're all I want, want (be honest)

Have we missed our moment? (For a moment)

How could fate be so unfair? (Be honest)

'Cause I know you're all I want, want

(Be honest) want

(For a moment) want

(Be honest) 'cause I know you're all I want, want

(Be honest) want

(For a moment) want

(Be honest) 'cause I know you're all I want (want)

I realise now there's a wolf inside that I dare not try to kill

I can change my path, I can learn his heart, but I cannot change his will

I watch her go on a long cold night, I expect she'll never leave my mind

And I'll walk 'round broken, sceptical, hopin'

One day she'll return to my side
