Story Behind The Song

written for how I felt when I separated from my first wife. I had a female sing it though for the obvious reasons.

Song Description

a very sad song which I think a lot of people can relate to. sometime in their life they probably had a similar situation occur for various reasons. a break up song which will surely make the affected listener relate to.

Lyrics

HONESTLY ( C ) 2013 BY TONY SCHEUERMAN


SO.. HERE WE ARE... STRANDED LIKE TWO STRANGERS
LIVING SEPARATE LIVES
SEE.. WHAT WE'VE BECOME
HOLDING ON TO MEMORIES
CAUSE OUR LOVE'S NOT STRONG ENOUGH

AND I KNOW YOU ONLY WANT THE BEST FOR ME
BUT NOW I NEED THIS TIME TO BE FREE

FROM THE MOMENT THAT I MET YOU
YOU'VE BEEN THE CENTER OF MY LIFE
THE REASON THAT I LIVE AND BREATHE
BUT ALL THE TIME THAT I SPENT LOVING YOU
I SHOULD HAVE LOVED MYSELF
THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WANTED IT TO BE ... HONESTLY

LOOK.. IN MY EYES
TELL ME YOU DON'T FEEL THIS WAY
TELL ME YOUR NOT HURT
AND DON'T.. YOU UNDERSTAND
WE CAN'T LIVE LIFE THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS
CAN'T GO ON LIVING IN THE PAST

AND I KNOW YOU ONLY WANT THE BEST FOR ME
BUT NOW I NEED THIS TIME TO BE FREE

I NEVER WANTED TO UPSET YOU
I DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE IT RAIN
I NEVER PLANNED TO COMPLICATE YOUR LIFE
AND THOUGH IT'S NO CONSOLATION
PLEASE KNOW I FEEL YOUR PAIN
THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WANTED IT TO BE..HONESTLY

DON'T YOU SEE OUR LOVE'S BEEN DYING
CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE NOT THE SAME
AND IT HURTS ME SO TO SEE YOU TRYING
WHEN WHAT WE HAD JUST CAN'T BE SAVED.. OH BABY

INSTRUMENTAL

FROM THE MOMENT THAT I MET YOU
YOU'VE BEEN THE CENTER OF MY LIFE
THE REASON THAT I LIVE AND BREATHE
BUT ALL THE TIME THAT I SPENT LOVING YOU
I SHOULD HAVE LOVED MYSELF
THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WANTED IT TO BE..HONESTLY

NO THIS IS NOT THE WAY I WANTED IT TO BE..HONESTLY
