There's something about you in the moonlight
But your eyes go so well with the day
You won't let go of your layers
But your power can strip me away
It's easier for us to hide
If you come out, then so will I
Promise that I'll meet you halfway
'Cause I see every part of you
And I can tell you see me too
By the way that you say my name
I'm an honest man
Why can't you take my hand
I'm not what you planned
But I'm a safe place to land
I'm an honest man
You're so afraid of tomorrow
So you build your walls up today
You won't believe that you're ready
But I'd never lead you astray
It's easier for us to hide
If you come out then so will I
Promise that I'll meet you halfway
'Cause I see every part of you
And I can tell you see me too
By the way that you say my name
I'm an honest man
Why can't you take my hand?
I'm not what you planned
But I'm a safe place to land
I'm an honest man
See me as I am
Show me that I can
You make me an honest man
I know I've played with hearts before
Don't have the heart to play with yours
I only swear to do the best I can
'Cause when you put your trust in me
How beautiful our love could be
If only you would take a chance
I'm an honest man
Why won't you take my hand?
I'm not what you planned
But I'm a safe place to land
I'm an honest man
I'm an honest man
Why won't you hold my hand?
I'm not what you planned
I'm a safe place to land
I'm an honest man
See me as I am, show me that I can
You make me an honest man
I've said all I can
I am who I am
And I am an honest man
But your eyes go so well with the day
You won't let go of your layers
But your power can strip me away
It's easier for us to hide
If you come out, then so will I
Promise that I'll meet you halfway
'Cause I see every part of you
And I can tell you see me too
By the way that you say my name
I'm an honest man
Why can't you take my hand
I'm not what you planned
But I'm a safe place to land
I'm an honest man
You're so afraid of tomorrow
So you build your walls up today
You won't believe that you're ready
But I'd never lead you astray
It's easier for us to hide

You make me an honest man
I've said all I can
I am who I am
And I am an honest man
