ABOUT HONEST
Honest is the second single out of three of my debut EP called "16". As you know, the goal with this EP is to share with you three very different songs. After "Shine", a joyful song, "Honest" is obviously a very different piece. Grand piano, cello, electric guitar, bass guitar, and voices all come together to create this ballad. Honest has become very special to me.
I hope you will enjoy listening to it as we did writing and producing it. Stay tuned for more!

LYRICS
I'm hoping I get to see you, I'm hoping you'll walk into the room,
I'm wondering what will I do, when you're smiling that smile at me.
I got your text I don't know what you want,
Did I mean something or nothing at all?
If this is a game then you've already won,
Now I'm gone.
Could you be, honest? Cuz baby I don't understand.
Please, be honest, cuz you won't even hold my hand.
I know I gotta stop, I can’t keep going,
And should I give you up? Cuz I keep hoping,
Please, be honest, yeah.
Something I did to hurt you? Or something I said I wish I knew.
Why can't you just say if we’re through? But you lie and you lie to me.
I got your text I don't know what you want,
Did I mean something or nothing at all?
If this is a game then you've already won,
Now I'm gone.
Could you be, honest? cuz baby I don't understand.
Please, be honest, cuz you won't even hold my hand.
I know I gotta stop, I can't keep going,
And should I give you up? Cuz I keep hoping,
Please, be honest.
You stole my heart, and I want it back,
Without your love, it’s like a heart attack.
You stole my heart, and I want it back,
Without your love, it’s like a heart attack.
Woah, yeah!
Could you be, honest? Cuz baby I don't understand.
Please, be honest, please, be honest,
I know I gotta stop, I can't keep going,
And should I give you up? Cuz I keep hoping,
Please, be honest,
Honest, with me.
