lyrics

Well hello darlin', it's been awhile
but I hear you're doing fine
I get some news on you every now and then
I don't know quite why I'm writing
There's just a few things on my mind
but surely not the words of what we could've been

If I told you how I'm getting by today
would you believe me? I think you would
I know you know me, and you know I have my days
but lets be honest, was the life that I lived fair?
please be honest, I need to know to get somewhere
yeah, lets be honest, you'll never read this
so who cares

You see I met myself this new gal
who resides in Arlington
She's got this heart I can't explain, its just so real
I'm doing everything I can now
to fill her heart again
and kiss the lips of fate with every ounce of what I feel

I knew the day would come
when I would sit down here and write your last song
I've learned from mistakes for futures sake
and I learned who I'm singing for

This girl deserves it, she deserves my very best
and here I stand to be the man I'm meant to be
See, I had fallen
but luckily life is full of second and third chances
so I can keep on tapping through the different dances
with this angel by my side, my heart demands this
so if you read this, fare thee well

Let's be honest
You're never honest, no
Let's be honest
