Honey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I believe in the way I loved you then
And the way you held my hand, it wasn't circumstance
Or anomaly but powers about when you
Place your bets and how you choose your friends

[Verse 2]
Oh, and I believe I could have been your girl
For about a hundred years, oh, in another world
But I had to leave and now when you hear my name
Oh, does it break your shit? Or do you run away?

[Chorus]
I started out tryin' to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wonderin' what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?


[Verse 3]
Oh, I believe we've all been here before
That time's a memory and it's an open door
But tell me what happens when you're on the other side
Is there a party somewhere? Or is it a fucking riot?

[Chorus]
I started out tryin' to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wonderin' what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?

[Bridge]
(Honey, honey, honey, honey)
(Honey, honey, honey, honey)
(Honey, honey, honey, honey)
(Honey, honey, honey, honey)
If there's an answer, oh, tell me
(Honey, honey, honey, honey)
(Honey, honey, honey, honey)
Is there an answer, oh, honey?

[Chorus]
I started out tryin' to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wonderin' what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?

I started out tryin' to do what's right
Lost it all in the middle of the night
If you're wonderin' what you should do with your life
Honey, if I knew, I would tell you, wouldn't I?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
