Lyrics Ben Platt – Honest Man

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

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

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

You’re so afraid of tomorrow
So you build your walls of today
You won’t believe that you’re ready
But I’d never lead you astray

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

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

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

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
I’m a safe place to land
I am an honest man
See me as I am
Show me I can
You make me an honest man

I’ve said all I can
I am who I am
And I am an honest man
