Alan G. - Honestly Lyrics
A nightmare, long ago nowForced me awake from the pain of my dreamsA late-night look in my heartUnearthin’ a lifetime of griefI yelled out “Why should I hide”And there in the storm of my lies, said a prayerRaced to the mirror to findAn immature child feelin’ scaredFunny when you start to realize maybe you’re not a boy anymoreAnd if I want to grow up, what am I waitin’ for?Here in this mirrorWho do I seeAm I still a boyJust playin’ with toysNo that isn’t meHere in this mirrorCould I be freeIf I say goodbyeTo all of the liesI once believedCuz then one boy canGrow into a manHonestlyBlinded by visions of fearChasin’ illusions that I’d never findBut those lies would all disappearWhen one truthful moment was mineFunny when you start to realize maybe you’re not the boy that you wereFinally fightin’ to breathe, forever changed, forever sureThe boy in the mirrorStarin’ at meI think he knowsThat I cannot growUntil he leavesSo I’ll break this mirrorSet his truth freeAnd I’ll say goodbyeTo that broken childCuz that’s what I needAnd then one boy canGrow into a manHonestlyThere’s not a moment to loseTruth is the light for the wiseEvery boy must face the time he must chooseTo see his life with open eyesHere in the mirrorWho do I seeAm I still a boyJust playin’ with toysNo, that isn’t meSo I’ll break this mirrorAnd set myself freeI’ll say goodbyeTo all of the liesI once believedSo now one boy canGrow into a manHonestlyNow one boy canGrow into a manHonestly
