Honest Lyrics


Dermot Kennedy Honest

[Verse 1]
Oh, I raced headfirst down the old stone road
To the bridge outside Kilteel
And I held my breath on that frosty morning
Dreaming maybe you're still there
Now I know in my heart that the original sin
Was never showing you my mind
'Fore you crossed that sea, you left this land
And left my love behind

[Chorus]
But my heart's too honest
All my colours spilling 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

[Verse 2]
Now my father stands in the middle of the road
Saying, "Boy, where have you been?
You've been out all night chasing dogs and ghosts
And this hill is taking down good men"
It's been dark so long, she's so damn bright
I could 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"

[Chorus]
Well, my heart's too honest
All my colours spilling 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

[Bridge]
(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

[Outro]
I realize 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, hoping, one day she'll return to my side
