Honest Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's something about you in the moonlight

But your eyes go so well with the day

You won't let go of your layers

But your power can strip me away

It's easier for us to hide

If you come out then so will I

Promise that I'll meet you halfway

Cause I see every part of you

And I can tell you see me too

By the way that you say my name

I'm an honest man

Why can't you take my hand

I'm not what you planned

But I'm a safe place to land

I'm an honest man

You're so afraid of tomorrow

So you build your walls of today

You won't believe that you're ready

But I'd never lead you astray

It's easier for us to hide

If you come out then so will I

Promise that I'll meet you halfway

Cause I see every part of you

And I can tell you see me too

By the way that you say my name

I'm an honest man

Why can't you take my hand

I'm not what you planned

But I'm a safe place to land

I'm an honest man

See me as I am

Show me that I can

You make me an honest man

I know I've played with hearts before

Don't have the heart to play with yours

I only swear to do the best I can

Cause when you put your trust in me

How beautiful our love could be

If only you would take a chance

I'm an honest man

Why won't you take my hand

I'm not what you planned

But I'm a safe place to land

I'm an honest man

I'm an honest man

Why won't you hold my hand

I'm not what you planned

I'm a safe place to land

I'm an honest man

See me as I am

Show me I can

You make me an honest man

I've said all I can

I am who I am

And I am an honest man
