Honestly

Bethany Joy Lenz

Honestly,
I didn't mean to cry so hard
But the heartache was pouring in like rain
I didn't mean to show I cared

Honestly,
I didn't mean to laugh so loud
But it just sounds so absurd
To say that your want me, say that you need me
After everything you've done

Really truly,
I didn't mean to hurt you
I just thought that maybe now
We'd have better luck the second time around
It's always better the second time, I hear

Find me in the evening
When you're ready to dance
and I will take you to the places
Where you never thought you'd had a chance
To love, love
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you

Please believe,
That I tried my best to forget you
But the memories keep flooding back like tears
I didn't mean to fall in love

Sitting her just waiting for this is torture
I'm so glad you're far away
Is that a terrible thing to say?
But I wonder if you're okay

Find me in the evening
When you're ready to dance
and I will take you to the places
Where you never thought you'd had a chance
To love, love
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you

I will run myself in circles here without you
Oh I tried and tried
And I can't hide from your love
Darling it's too late
To show me your intentions
And I will go to find a way
To get pass all the implications
Every situation, every complication
That we've come from
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you

Darling love....love
Love is all we have
I will run myself in circles here without you

    General CommentHe messed up and she left him. But now she's willing to give things a second chance, in hopes that things will be better the 2nd time around.

    General CommentThis is by far my favorite Joy song.

    Her voice is amazing in this piece. I think it's a great testament of lost and found love.

    General CommentThis song is one of my faves too. I can relate. When you try to forget about someone but you can't and then you end up accidentally admitting all your feelings. And you know the relationship didnt work out last time but you want to try again, cos you can't not love them.
