If I’m Honest Lyrics
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 finding all kinds of reckless ways to forget your face
like going out on the town spreading around all that love I’d 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
Darling I’ve been moving through seas of faces hoping to meet your stare
And dancing towards any stranger with your crazy eyes or wayward golden hair
I’ve been finding all kinds of useless ways just to push it all down
like spinning around, spinning around till I’ve fallen 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
I painted over all the cracks
but now the paint is peeling back
It’s a shame but it’s true (nobody loves me)
When the flame turned blue (nobody loves me)
It burnt a hole right through
now nobody loves me the way that, that way that you used to…
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 finding all kinds of reckless ways to forget your face
like going out on the town spreading around all that love I’d kept for you
It’s a shame but it’s true
Nobody loves me the way that you used to
And dancing towards any stranger with your crazy eyes or wayward golden hair
I’ve been finding all kinds of useless ways just to push it all down
like spinning around, spinning around till I’ve fallen to the ground
It’s a shame but it’s true
Nobody loves me the way that you used to
but now the paint is peeling back
When the flame turned blue (nobody loves me)
It burnt a hole right through
now nobody loves me the way that, that way that you used to…

This song has a pretty clear meaning: she was in love with someone. Now they don't love her anymore. She still loves them. She's doing things to try to forget, which could also mean drugs and alcohol, as well as the things specifically mentioned. I can really relate to this song, having been separated from someone I love and not being able to get over them. The song ends without her finding closure, but I like to imagine that she's okay now.
