If I’m Honest

Darling if I’m honest / you’ve been on my mind / on my mind all day / And lately
if I’m honest / I can’t bring myself to think no other way / I’ve been finding all
kinds of reckless ways to forget your face / like going out on the town spreading
around all that love I’d kept for you / But no-one touches me like you used to /
It’s a shame but it’s true / Nobody loves me the way that you used to / Darling
I’ve been moving through seas of faces hoping to meet your stare / And dancing
towards any stranger with your crazy eyes or wayward golden hair / I’ve been
finding all kinds of useless ways just to push it all down / like spinning around,
spinning around till I’ve fallen to the ground / But no-one touches me like you
used to / It’s a shame but it’s true / Nobody loves me the way that you used to / I
painted over all the cracks / but now the paint is peeling back / It’s a shame but
it’s true (nobody loves me) / When the flame turned blue (nobody loves me) / It
burnt a hole right through / now nobody loves me the way that, that way that
you used to…
