Honestly

Honestly

What are you doing here in my head, 

What are you, what are you

You are the spur to my thoughts, 

What a who, what a who

Why can’t I get your face out of my mind

Why can’t I get your voice out of my sound


I’ll be disappointed, it won’t ever work 

I’m a rock I’m an island, independent, alert

You cannot approach me, 

Beware I repel invaders

I know how it hurts, far too well


Yes, you’re dealing with experts here 

Don’t pay no heed, 

I already have everything that I need

I’ve got privacy, comfort, the biscuits and tea

The goldfish the music, the kitchen and me


Well that should have done it, 

I hope that you’ve gone

I hope my mind’s clearer and life can go on

Thank you for raising my hopes for a while

Thank you for your company, 

Thanks for your smile  

Thank you for letting me prove I was right 

You seemed such a soul mate 

But that was last night 

And I tried you convicted you put you away

How would you know, not a word did I say


No not a look, not a glance, 

Not a squeeze of your hand

Not any small signal that you’d understand

Not all of this energy burning in me

Not one drop of rain to tremble the seed 

And it’s honestly, honestly, honestly, honestly, beyond me


This doesn’t happen to people my age

It’s not a decision this is merely a phase

And it’s something which doesn’t apply to my kind

In no way will this drive me out of my mind 

And it’s honestly, honestly, honestly, honestly, beyond me
