honesty

Alannah Myles

(chorus)
Oh, did I strike the chord of honesty in you
Did I strike it hard enough
A bout of lust between true love
My heart it cries with every lie
Did I strike the chord of honesty in you

In the vane of my submission
I dreaded everything
What lucky fate lies waiting
For this troubadour of mercy, tell me

(repeat chorus)

Did cupid pluck my strings with fingers
Strumming through my heart like thunder
Maybe if you knew
I bet you'd write this song for me
Oh, would you strike it gently
Oh, would you strike it mighty
My heart it cries with every lie
Did I strike the chord of honesty in you

Is this life or a test of endurance
I'm durable but am I able, am I wanting
Do I need to strike this chord in you
Do I need to see the truth

(repeat chorus)
