Honest Man Lyrics

by Ben Platt

[Verse 1]
There's something about you and the moonlight
That your eyes go so well with the day
You won't let go of your layers
But your power can striff me away

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e117092-ben_platt~honest_man_lyrics.html ]
[Pre-Chorus]
It's easier for us to hide
If you come out, then so will I
Promise that I'll meet you halfway
'Cause I see everybody, ooh
And I can tell you see me, too
By the way that you say my name

[Chorus]
I am an honest man
Why can't you take my hand?
I'm not what you planned but, I'm a safe place to land
I am an honest man

[Verse 2]
You're so afraid of tomorrow
So you build your walls up today
You won't believe that you're ready
But I'll never lead you astray

[Pre-Chorus]
It's easier for us to hide
If you come, then so will I
Promise that I'll meet you halfway
'Cause I see everybody, ooh
And I can tell you see me, too
By the way that you say my name

[Chorus]
I am an honest man
Why can't you take my hand?
I'm not what you planned, but I'm a safe place to land
I am an honest man
See me as I am, show me that I can
You make me an honest man

[Bridge]
I know I played with hearts before
Don't have a heart to play with yours
I only swear to do the best I can
'Cause when you put your trust in me
How beautiful our love could be
If only you would take a chance

[Chorus]
I am an honest man
Why can't you take my hand?
I'm not what you planned, but I'm a safe place to land
I am an honest man
I am an honest man
Why can't you hold my hand?
I'm not what you planned, but I'm a safe place to land
I am an honest man
See me as I am, show me that I can
You make me an honest man

[Outro]
I said all I can, I am what I am
And I am an honest man
