Butch Walker
Honesty
[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
It's not supposed to hurt this much
But it can never feel all the same again
I'm left with nothing
But the memory of the way you used to feel
I guess you finally took the deepest cut
I guess the blade on my tongue was just too much
Every word that I said came from my dark side
Now this emptiness is real

[Pre-Chorus: John Connolly]
You reach beneath the surface more...

[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
So, go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Too blind to see... you stole my honesty

[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
I think about the time we've lost
I think about the time
The silence could be words
And now the only sound I hear
Is my guilty conscience
Screaming out your name
[Pre-Chorus: John Connolly]
You reach beneath the surface more...

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon]
So, go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Too blind to see... you stole my honesty
So, go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Go and steal away my thoughts of honesty

[Bridge: Lajon Witherspoon]
Take back everything I said
A new place for us to begin
Take back everything...
Take back everything...
Take back everything I said

[Chorus 3: Lajon Witherspoon & Clint Lowery]
So, go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Too blind to see... you stole my honesty
So, go and leave me with my last regret
(Take back everything I said)
Let me feel the way you left me dead
(A new place for us to begin)
Steal away my thoughts of honesty
(Take back everything...
Take back everything...)
