Ben Platt Honest Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
I am 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 am an honest man

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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 [Chorus]
I am 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 am an honest man
See me as I am, show me that I can
You make me an honest man

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
I am 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 am an honest man
I am an honest man
Why won't you hold my hand?
I'm not what you planned, but I'm a safe place to land
I am an honest man
See me as I am, show me that I can
You make me an honest man

[Outro]
I've said all I can, I am who I am
And I am an honest man
