Good Honest Man

I lied to you

And I've lied to myself

I've lied for reasons

Reasons I couldn't tell

To make me feel strong

When I refused to be weak

To hide from my truth

When I was too scared to see

And as I stand here

With my heart in my hands

I need you to believe

That I can be a good, honest man

You gave me your best

And gave me your all

I just could not

I couldn't tear down my walls

You gave me your hand

And I gave you grief

I cut you down

With all of my disbelief

And as I stand here

With my heart in my hands

I need you to believe

That I can be a good, honest man

And I'll try to show you the real me

Most never get to know

And I'll try to show you what it could be

And I'll let my real demons show

You've packed your clothes

And headed out west

You left me here standing

Trying to figure what's next

And as I stand here

With my heart in my hands

I need you to believe

That I can be a good, honest man

And as I stand here

With my heart in my hands

I need you to believe

That I can be a good, honest man
