I Once Was an Honest Guy

There’s only one way to fall behind Abuse my love a thousand times I’ve been learning a thing or two Like when to refuse a point of view

I drained the river dry, I once was an honest guy But now I’ve told a lie

I’ve never been one to condescend But I’ll be here until the end.

The worst part of a love that’s lost Both you and I must pay the cost

I drained the river dry, I once was an honest guy But now I’ve told a lie

Maybe I’ll be

Much better off than before

I’ve heard both ends of what you say Like yes, and no, and maybe someday I thought about it once or twice

But now I’ve paid the highest price

I drained the river dry, I can’t look you in the eye,

Cause I once was an honest guy …But now I’ve told a lie

Maybe I’ll be...

Much better off knowing that all I see Is just a stepping stone

And that I’m not really on my own
