If I'm 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.
Darling, if I'm honest
You've been on my mind
On my mind all day.
And lately, if I'm honest
I can't bring myself
To think no other way.
I've been doing all kinds of reckless things
To forget your face.
Like going out on the town
Spreading around all that love I kept for you.
But no one touches me like you used to
It's a shame but it's true
Nobody loves me the way that you used to.
And darling, I've been moving
Through seas of faces
Hoping to meet your stare.
And dancing towards any strangers
With your crazy eyes
Or way with golden hair.
I've been trying all kinds of useless ways just
To push it all down.
Like spinning around
Spinning around 'till I fall on to the ground.
But no one touches me like you used to
It's a shame but it's true
Nobody loves me the way that you used to.
So I painted over all the cracks
But now the paint is pealing back.
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah.
It's a shame but true
It's a shame but true
It's a shame but true
Nobody loves me the way that you used to.
