Honestly
Annie Lennox
Bare
2003



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 around in my head still)
Honestly (It seems to be true)
Honestly (That nothin' I do)
Honestly (Can influence you)

I tried n tried again
(Don't u know I tried n tried again 2 make u listen 2 me)
(But everything I said it always seemed 2 go right through u)
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 2 be so complicated)
(I never thought that u n me would end up so frustrated)
Won't catch your attention I see
(U'd think that something had 2 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 (Alone in my bed)
Honestly (The things that you said)
Honestly (Go around in my head still)
Honestly (It seems to be true)
Honestly (That nothin' I do)
Honestly (Can influence you)

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
(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)
Was just my projection you see
(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 around in my head still)
Honestly (It seems to be true)
Honestly (That nothin' I do)
Honestly (Can influence you)
Honestly (Alone in my bed)
Honestly (The things that you said)
Honestly (Go around in my head still)
Honestly (It seems to be true)
Honestly (That nothin' I do)
Honestly (Can influence you)

Everything I know you said
Goin' round inside my head
Nothin' that I ever do
Ever seems to get to you
Everything I know you said
Goin' round inside my head
I told you
