honest

Dermot Kennedy

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
For you crossed that sea, you left this land
And left my love behind

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

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
Said I know just what you mean

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

(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 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
