Honest

Hey, how's it going?

Can you meet me down on Adelaide street?

Can you talk for a moment?

There's no way to say this that easily

And everything I said, I swear I meant it

I need to tell you that this isn't your fault

And I know that I'll probably regret it

And it kills me cause the worst part of all

Is that I hate to hurt you, but I got to be honest

I can't give you what you need

You deserve more than I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna, baby, I'm just tryna be honest

I'm tryna to be honest with ya

You know that I'm sorry, but I'm tryna be honest with ya

Hey, can you listen?

I swear to God to you, there's nobody else

You're gonna say that I'm lying

When I tell you every feeling I felt

Was honest and sincere in that you were different

And when we kissed, I felt like that kid in love

And I know that I'll probably regret it

I might wish I never said this at all

Oh, I hate to hurt you, but I got to be honest

I can't give you what you need

You deserve more than I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna, baby, I'm just tryna be honest

I'm tryna to be honest with ya

You know that I'm sorry, but I'm tryna be honest with ya

Oh, I don't wanna see you cry

Oh, swear that I don't wanna see you cry

Cause I hate to hurt you, but I got to be honest

I can't give you what you need

You deserve more than I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna, baby, I'm just tryna be honest

I hate to hurt you, but I got to be honest

I can't give you what you need

You deserve more than I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna, baby, I'm just tryna be honest
