Honestly Lyrics - Singles - Alan G.

A nightmare, long ago now 

Forced me awake from the pain of my dreams 

A late-night look in my heart 

Unearthin' a lifetime of grief 

I yelled out "Why should I hide" 

And there in the storm of my lies, said a prayer 

Raced to the mirror to find 

An immature child feelin' scared 

Funny when you start to realize maybe you're not a boy anymore 

And if I want to grow up, what am I waitin' for? 

Here in this mirror 

Who do I see 

Am I still a boy 

Just playin' with toys 

No that isn't me 

Here in this mirror 

Could I be free 

If I say goodbye 

To all of the lies 

I once believed 

Cuz then one boy can 

Grow into a man 

Honestly 

Blinded by visions of fear 

Chasin' illusions that I'd never find 

But those lies would all disappear 

When one truthful moment was mine 

Funny when you start to realize maybe you're not the boy that you were 

Finally fightin' to breathe, forever changed, forever sure 

The boy in the mirror 

Starin' at me 

I think he knows 

That I cannot grow 

Until he leaves 

So I'll break this mirror 

Set his truth free 

And I'll say goodbye 

To that broken child 

Cuz that's what I need 

And then one boy can 

Grow into a man 

Honestly 

There's not a moment to lose 

Truth is the light for the wise 

Every boy must face the time he must choose 

To see his life with open eyes 

Here in the mirror 

Who do I see 

Am I still a boy 

Just playin' with toys 

No, that isn't me 

So I'll break this mirror 

And set myself free 

I'll say goodbye 

To all of the lies 

I once believed 

So now one boy can 

Grow into a man 

Honestly 

Now one boy can 

Grow into a man 

Honestly
