If I'm Honest

(album: The Ol' Razzle Dazzle - 2012)

Darling, if I'm honest
You've been on my mind, on my mind all day.
And lately, if I'm honest
I can't bring myself to think no other way.

I've been finding all kinds
Of reckless ways to forget your face
Like going out on the town
And spreading around
All that love I kept for you.

But no one
Touches me like you used to
It's a shame but it's true
Nobody loves me the way that you used to.

And darling, well, I've been moving
Through seas of faces hoping to meet your stare
And dancing towards any strangers
With your crazy eyes or wayward golden hair

I've been finding all kinds
Of useless ways just to push it all down
Like spinning around, spinning around
'Til I fall onto the ground..

But no one
Touches me like you used to
It's a shame but it's true
Nobody loves me the way that you used to.

And I painted over all the cracks
But now the paint is peeling back

Oh yeah, oh yeah
It's a shame but it's true (nobody loves me)
When the flame turned blue (nobody loves me)
It burned a hole right through
Now nobody loves me the way that,
The way that you, the way that you used to.
