I could kick myself
it's dangerous to my health
to keep on living this way
last place i wanna turn
last thing i wanna learn
is from the pain of these days
the book is hard to read
when i played the lead
oh, i'd rather look away

'cause honestly
when it comes to me
the truth is hard to shake
but honestly
I believe I see
it's the only road to take

getting nowhere fast
mired in the past
it's time to move, get moving on
but there's no place to go
if I'm afraid to show
the truth of where i've been
oh, the time has come
i don't want to run

honestly
when it comes to me
the truth is hard to shake
but honestly
I believe I see
it's the only road to take
tenderly
Lord speak to me
it seems so hard to hear
honestly
oh, I think I see
it is really me I fear...
honestly
