Honest

I can see that you're angry
I know I must apologize
I see it as some omissions
You see it as lots of lies

But I never meant to hurt you
Even though I may have mislead
I wasn't really untruthful
There were just a few things left unsaid

It's true
I could have been more honest
It's true
Well there was a spark when we'd mingle
So I never mentioned I wasn't single

It's true
I could have been more honest with you
It's true
I could have been more honest

So how does it really change things
We used to stare in each other's eyes
But now you won't even touch me
Because of this little surprise

The truth is I thought you'd realize
I didn't think it would be that hard
You never met any of my friends
And I never used a credit card

It's true
I could have been more honest
It's true
Lies are a burden when carried
I would have eventually told you I'm married

It's true
I could have been more honest with you
It's true
I could have been more honest
It's true
I should have been more honest with you
It's true
I could have been more honest

It's OK if you have your secrets
Let's be even and just turn the page
I mean I didn't mention my marriage
But I think you lied about your age

You say that's completely different
You're probably right but what can I say
Except how about once more just for old times
This weekend my wife is away

It's true
I could have been more honest
It's true
I didn't want to cause any strife
So I just never mentioned my wife

It's true
I could have been more honest
It's true
It hurts when you call me a louse
It would have ruined the mood
To have mentioned my spouse

It's true
I could have been more honest with you
It's true
I could have been more honest
It's true
I should have been more honest with you
It's true
I could have been more honest
