Honesty Anyway

on the first night I ever saw you
  from the first time I ever felt your skin
  I figured things a little strange
  as I began to rearrange myself
  when the first sunlight started to appear
  I would turn to see if you were here
  
  I harbored not a single doubt
  just had to find what you're about inside
  I couldn't seem to say good night
  until I heard you say alright to me
  
  excuse me, my dear - I just had to say
  it's hell without you here
  and all my dreams are full of fear
  but there's honesty anyway
  
  the first time I knew I made a choice
  is when I heard the low-down
  sullen sound of your voice
  
  I harbored not a single doubt
  just had to find what you're about inside
  I couldn't seem to say good night
  until I heard you say alright to me
  
  excuse me, my dear - I just had to say
  it's hell without you here
  and all my dreams are full of fear
  but there's honesty anyway
  
  just had to let you know
  feels like hell when you're not home
  and I sleep alone
  but there's honesty anyway
