Honest Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feelin' relaxed
Ain't that easy
When your hands are on his chest
Hidin' my face
In the backseat
Pretendin' I'm not stressed
Holdin' my breath
Goin' crazy
'Cause his lips might be touchin' you
But I can't say
What's in my head
'Cause I'm afraid he'll still be the one that you choose

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel you slippin' through my fingers
But I'm not ready to give you up

[Chorus]
If you want me
To be honest
It still hurts to hear your name
It's so hard not
Bein' jealous
Why can't you look my way?
If you want me
To be honest
You're the one I'll always crave
Stick around you
Long enough to
See you push him away-ay-ay

[Post-Chorus]
If I'm bein' honest
If I'm bein' honest

[Verse 2]
Would you tell me
If I already missed my chance?
Are you like me?
Do you regret
The things you've left unsaid?
Throwin' away
Every thought of
Every girl that I know but you
So I can keep
You in my head
'Cause I'm afraid that you'll be the one that I lose

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I feel you slippin' through my fingers
But I'm not ready to say goodbye

[Chorus]
If you want me
To be honest
It still hurts to hear your name
It's so hard not
Bein' jealous
Why can't you look my way?
If you want me
To be honest
You're the one I'll always crave
Stick around you
Long enough to
See you push him away-ay-ay

[Bridge]
(Oh, if I, oh, if I)
I feel you slippin' through my fingers
(Oh, if I, oh, if I)
If I'm bein' honest
(Oh, if I, oh, if I)
I feel you slippin' through my fingers

[Chorus]
And If you want me
To be honest
It still hurts to hear your name
It's so hard not
Bein' jealous
Why can't you look my way?
If you want me
To be honest
You're the one I'll always crave
Stick around you
Long enough to
See you push him away-ay-ay

[Outro]
Please don't go-oh-oh-oh
Please don't go (If I'm bein' honest) oh
Please don't go-oh-oh-oh
Please don't go (If I'm bein' honest) oh
Please don't go-oh-oh-oh
Please don't go (If I'm bein' honest) oh
Please don't go-oh-oh-oh
Please don't go (If I'm bein' honest) oh
