But Honestly
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.
Where are you off to with that head of yours?
Is there somewhere you should be?
Was it something that I said the time I held you down
And told you it's not you it's only me?
Maybe
Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't need
(Give my back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
You'll see
What you up to now your mirror's gone?
Is there someone you should be?
Did you think I was just fooling 'round with you?
But honestly
But honestly
But honestly
Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't need
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
(Give me back my peace and quiet)
Nowhere to hide from me
You'll see
And tonight I thank the stars
As I count my lucky scars
For everything you've given me
And all the words I gave to you
Something borrowed, something blue
If you want them back
I'll give it to you
Give it to you
I don't want one thing that I gave to you
