ANNIE LENNOX - HONESTLY lyrics

rate me

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 ... honestly ... honestly

Alone in my bed

The things that you said

Go round in my head ... still

It seems to be true

That nothin' I do

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?

Was I ... mad?

Foolish me

Foolish ... me

To succumb so easily

To suc...cumb

Easi...ly

So easily

So easily

Honestly... honestly... honestly...

(Alone in my bed

The things that you said

Go round in my head ... still

It seems to be true

That nothin' I do

Can influence you... still)

Fools like me get so easily taken

And 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

(I told you so

I told you so)

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
