"Honest" lyrics

When the waltzes ended, the cathedrals burned
You're not to blame for all my growin' up
Now we're standing on the edge of us
Bent over backwards, what a foolish loss

All the drives north on ninety-five in silence
I rescue myself, count as the seconds pass
I know that this won't last, I've got a secret to tell

Try to be
Try to be honest
Try to be everything you think I should be
Can I be
Can I be honest?
I might not be everything you think I should be

When the head is stranded on a bed of stone
Two hearts in silence, that's no way to go
Were we born for poems? Do we use the words of love?
The price I pay for all I'm thinking of

All the drives south on ninety-five in silence
I rescue myself, count as the seconds pass
I know that this won't last, I've got a secret to tell

Try to be
Try to be honest
Try to be everything you think I should be
But can I be
Can I be honest?
I might not be everything you think I should be

I can drive you home
We can dance alone
But I might not be everything you think I should be
We can stay late on the phone
Laugh till we're old
But I might not be everything you think I should be

I might not be everything you think I should be
I might not be everything you think I should be
I might not be everything you think I should be
I might not be everything you think I should be
