I

Honest

Lyrics of Honest by Shawn Mendes

Verse

Hey, how′s it going?

Can you meet down on Eli street?

Can you talk for a moment?

There's no way to say this that easily

Everything I said, I swear I meant it

I need to tell you that this isn′t your fault

And I know that I'll probably regret it

And it kills me 'cause the worst part of all

Chorus

It′s that I hate to hurt you

But I gotta be honest

I can′t give you what you need

You deserve more than I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I′m just tryna

Baby, I'm just tryna be honest

I′m tryna be honest with you

You know that I'm sorry

But I′m tryna be honest with you

Verse

Hey, can you listen?

I swear to God to you, there's nobody else

You're gonna say that I′m lyin′

When I tell you every feeling I felt

Was honest and sincere

And that you were different

And when we kissed I felt like that kid in love, yeah

And I know that I'll probably regret it

And I wish I never said this at all

Chorus

Oh, I hate to hurt you

But I gotta be honest

I can′t give you what you need

You deserve more than I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I′m just tryna

Baby, I'm just tryna be honest

I′m tryna be honest with you

You know that I'm sorry

But I'm tryna be honest with you

Bridge

Oh, oh, oh

I don′t wanna see you cry

Oh, oh, oh

Swear that I don′t wanna see you cry

Chorus

'Cause I hate to hurt you

But I got to be honest

I can′t give you what you need, oh

You deserve more that I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I′m just tryna

Baby, I'm just tryna be honest

Chorus

I hate to hurt you

But I got to be honest

I can′t give you what you need, oh

You deserve more that I can promise

And I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna

Baby, I′m just tryna be honest
