Honest
Embracing Truth: Luke Targett's Heartfelt Journey in 'Honest'
Lyrics
It takes a lot to be honest
Expressing the difficulty of being truthful.
I'm honest with you
Stating the commitment to honesty with the listener.
I'm not like others you been through, no
Claiming to be different from others in the listener's past.
So if you let me be on this I'm on it, yeah
Seeking permission to be honest and expressing readiness.
Will you let me be honest
Pleading for the listener's permission to be honest.
Be honest with you
Reiterating the commitment to honesty with the listener.
Hey, we've come a long way
Reflecting on the journey the relationship has taken.
ohh I know you don't believe in those fairy tales
Acknowledging the listener's skepticism toward fairy tales.
Oh you, tiny shards of you
Metaphorically describing the listener as shattered.
Broken up into a million pieces
Describing the listener's emotional fragmentation.
I'll pick them up then I'll fix you
Expressing the intention to mend the listener's broken self.
So why do you doubt me
Questioning the listener's lack of trust.
Doubt me, doubt me, doubt me
Repeating the theme of doubt in the relationship.
You can open up around me
Encouraging the listener to open up emotionally.
Round me, round me, round me
Repeating the encouragement for emotional openness.
No need to be cautious
Assuring the listener that caution is unnecessary.
You thought I wouldn't notice
Noting the awareness of the listener's actions.
When nobody's watching
Highlighting the speaker's attentiveness even when unobserved.
You know that I'll be waiting for you
Expressing patience and waiting for the listener.
It takes a lot to be honest
Reiterating the difficulty of being honest.
I'm honest with you
Restating the commitment to honesty with the listener.
I'm not like others you been through, no
Emphasizing differences from the listener's past experiences.
So if you let me be on this I'm on it, yeah
Seeking permission again to be honest and expressing readiness.
Will you let me be honest
Repeating the plea for the listener's permission to be honest.
Be honest with you
Reiterating the commitment to honesty with the listener.
Don't wanna take side steps
Expressing a desire to avoid detours in the relationship.
Just wanna make you feel right (feel right)
Expressing the primary goal of making the listener feel good.
Don't wanna intrude, no
Rejecting interference and respecting the listener's identity.
Just want you to be you (want you to be you)
Expressing the desire for the listener to be authentic.
Oh you, tiny shards of you
Repeating the metaphor of the listener being shattered.
Broken up into a million pieces
Describing the ongoing emotional fragmentation.
I'll pick them up then I'll fix you
Reiterating the intention to mend the listener's broken self.
So why do you doubt me
Questioning the listener's continued doubt in the speaker.
Doubt me, doubt me, doubt me
Repeating the theme of doubt in the relationship.
You can open up around me
Encouraging the listener once again to open up emotionally.
Round me, round me, round me
Repeating the encouragement for emotional openness.
No need to be cautious
Reassuring the listener that caution is unnecessary.
You thought I wouldn't notice
Noting the speaker's awareness of the listener's actions.
When nobody's watching
Emphasizing attentiveness even when unobserved.
You know that I'll be waiting for you
Reiterating patience and waiting for the listener.
It takes a lot to be honest
Reiterating the difficulty of being honest.
I'm honest with you
Restating the commitment to honesty with the listener.
I'm not like others you been through, no
Emphasizing differences from the listener's past experiences.
So if you let me be on this I'm on it, yeah
Seeking permission again to be honest and expressing readiness.
Will you let me be honest
Repeating the plea for the listener's permission to be honest.
Be honest with you
Reiterating the commitment to honesty with the listener.
