From the recording Not What I Bargained For
Lyrics
Show A Little Honesty
[©William Livesay/David Graham)]
In my heart I know you love me
But there are things I can’t accept
Little secrets you’re not telling me
That lead to my regrets
There's no turning back from who you are
That’s clearly understood
I know you’re never gonna change your spots for me
Even if you could
Show a little honesty
It's all I'm ever gonna need to keep what we possess
Show a little honesty
It's all I'm ever gonna need, I want nothing less
When you open up your heart to me
Why do I feel locked out?
My suspicion of your restless soul
Is what keeps our love in doubt
It's not my imagination
But this much I know for sure
If you are my salvation babe
Then I’m gonna need a better cure
Show a little honesty
It's all I'm ever gonna need to keep what we possess
Show a little honesty
It's all I'm ever gonna need, I want nothing less
No more smoke and mirrors
It's the truth I'm looking for
Show a little honesty… and nothing more
Honesty can heal, sometimes it can also make us bleed
I've shed blood before.. so don't think that I'm naive
Show a little honesty, show a little honesty, show a little honesty
It's all I'm ever gonna need to keep what we possess
Show a little honesty
It's all I'm ever gonna need, I want nothing less
No more smoke and mirrors it's the truth I'm looking for
All I want is little honesty… and nothing more
