Honestly So you want the truth You're probably gonna laugh at me I still read the letters that you gave to me But what we have is all we ever should be Yeah, you want me to stay And I want you to let go I wish there was a way We could see it through But you know deep down I just gotta be honest 'Cause it's so hard for me to see you hurt You know that we just wouldn't work I'm still here as a friend Yeah, you should know that I still care And honestly, I want you to stay But I know you'll take it the wrong way I think it's time That you be honest with yourself Yeah, honestly I gotta be honest I gotta be honest I gotta be honest I asked her to stay But she had some other plans So I held my breath and watched our dreams wash away
