[Verse 1] Honestly… Maybe I ain’t the deepest sea Maybe this ain’t epiphany My epitaphs have collapsed And now all that’s left is me. Who was right, or what was wrong Honestly doesn’t mean much in this song So hold your chalice up in the air And grant this mercy like an angel’s prayer. When I first fell, there wasn’t much ground to stand on. You were more than just some girl I wanted to get my hands on. That fragile smile, a still image in my mind Like that little light of yours was everything I wanted to find. [Pre-Chorus] I didn’t really know at first. I wanted to give you far more than just some poet’s verse. I tried to make us something far more than just beauty. Actions may speak louder than words, However I state mine, truly. [Chorus] Honestly, I wanted more Honestly, I wanted more I wanted something more Don’t call it less than love Honestly, I wanted more Honestly, I wanted more I wanted something more I was just trying to love [Verse 2] Honesty… isn’t always the best policy. Loyalty was… back when she was still here. I tried to tell her “early,” as if love ever waits. Even asked her out on a quiet date. Maybe it was too soon, but I was just trying to heal. All that sorrow in her heart— That’s all I was trying to feel. They said real knows real. Then maybe you can see. Maybe I was a blind guide But it’s not that I was trying to be. I wanted you to know the story Before truth one day fades. It really took my whole heart Had To cut that knot like a blade. [Pre-Chorus] I burnt so many bridges Just trying to make it back home. And when I got there… All that was… Was Ash and Bone. [Chorus] Honestly, I wanted more Honestly, I wanted more I wanted something more Don’t call it less than love Honestly, I wanted more Honestly, I wanted more I wanted something more I was just trying to love [Bridge] Not a cursed flame— Just a King without a crown. A foolish jester wearing The mask of a sad clown. I spiraled into feeling, Like you opened up the door. And my eyes rained Like a summer storm. I remember back When I said before. You burned me through my root; It singed me to the core. [Final Chorus] Honestly, I wanted more Honestly, I wanted more I wanted something more Don’t call it less than love Honestly, I wanted more Honestly, I wanted more I wanted something more You want the truth? I wanted more
