Lyrics
Honest
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.
We may live again, but hey now, maybe not
So if you love someone, give it all you've got
Time is easy spent, but it can't be bought
So stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Never let the tide of change
Wash away the dream you've dreamt
Don't get left wondering where the summer went
'Cause if not now, then come on darling, tell me when
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest, honest
Honest with yourself
Breathe in, breathe out, don't hold it in
Let fear fall down, let love begin
Be brave, be bold with no regrets
Try something that scares you a bit
Write your own song and sing it loud
Love who you are, stand tall, stand proud
Keep the good and lose the rest
If you know your truth, say it with your chest
Don't care so much what people think
Most wouldn't care if you float or sink
Just know the ones who love you most
Treat them right and keep them close
And savor every breath
And cherish every day
'Cause the Sun's here now
But the Moon is on the way
Don't get too caught up
Dwelling in your yesterday
Stop acting as if tomorrow's promised
Stop acting as if you can't be honest
