Honestly Lyrics - Bare - Annie Lennox

The beauty that you gave 

Has turned upon itself 

And all the things you said 

Evaporated, evaporated 

Was I blind 

Deaf and dumb 

To the words slipped 

From your tongue? 

Honestly 

(Alone in my bed) 

Honestly 

(The things that you said) 

Honestly 

(Go round in my head still) 

Honestly 

(It seems to be true) 

Honestly 

(That nothin' I do) 

Honestly 

(Can influence you) 

(I tried and tried again) 

Don't you know I tried and tried again 

To make you listen to me 

But everything I said it always seemed to go right through you 

(To make you notice me) 

I turned myself into a person that I didn't like 

But please believe me when I say, "I know it wasn't right" 

(But talking to myself) 

I never thought that things would get to be so complicated 

I never thought that you and me would end up so frustrated 

(Won't catch you attention I see) 

You'd think that something had to come from all those good intentions 

But in the end I needed something more than intervention 

Was I mad? 

Foolish me 

To succumb 

So easily 

Honestly 

(Alone in my bed) 

Honestly 

(The things that you said) 

Honestly 

(Go round in my head still) 

Honestly 

(It seems to be true) 

Honestly 

(That nothin' I do) 

Honestly 

(Can influence you still) 

Fools like me 

Get so easily taken 

But fools like me 

Can be so mistaken 

Honestly 

Honestly 

Honestly 

(The promise that you gave) 

Don't you know the promise that you gave just turned it's back upon me 

I stopped believing but you couldn't take the whole thing from me 

(Has turned it's back) 

I never thought I'd have to pay the price to set you free 

(And all you represented was just my projection you see) 

You know I never thought I'd ever live a day without you 

And that's the reason why it makes me sad to think about you 

And you know I never thought I'd make it if you wasn't there 

And now I'm tryin' to eject myself from this despair 

People come 

People go 

Never say 

"I told you so" 

Honestly 

(Alone in my bed) 

Honestly 

(The things that you said) 

Honestly 

(Go round in my head still) 

Honestly 

(It seems to be true) 

Honestly 

(That nothin' I do) 

Ya, honestly 

(Can influence you) 

"Honestly", I said 

(Alone in my bed) 

Honestly 

(The things that you said) 

Honestly 

(Go round in my head still) 

Told you honestly 

(It seems to be true) 

I said, "Honestly" 

(That nothin' I do) 

Honestly 

(Can influence you) 

Everything I know you said 

Goin' round inside my head 

Never thought I'd see the day 

Always got a price to pay 

Nothin' that I ever do 

Ever seems to get to you
