This song was written as a testimony of reflection. We all love and sometimes we lose love. Never in the history of loving and losing is someone without some responsibility. In Can I be Honest? I own my part of a love lost. A true reflection of me coming to grips with my decisions and the pain I regrettably caused myself.
Lyrics
Can I Be Honest – Lyrics&Melody by Lennox Armstrong
A man's not suppose to say
that we hurt when you throw our love away
but when you leave we break
When you walk away you take everything away
Can I Be Honest?
I was afraid
Can I Be Honest ?
You tore my heart away
Can I Be Honest ?
I don't know If I'm okay
A Man's not suppose to say
That I was wrong
A Man's not suppose to say
How do I go on ?
When you go you strip our soul away...our very soul away
Can I Be Honest?
I was afraid
Can I Be Honest ?
You tore my heart away
Can I Be Honest ?
I don't know If I'm okay
Now here I stand years have passed
I'm still here holding fast
still have my children
Still have my soul
I met a new love and I've learn to go on
but i've changed...
I'm not the fool I used to be
Can I be honest?
I broke my own heart
Can I be honest?
I knew right from the start
Can I be honest?
We never had a chance
Can I be honest?
I wasn't even half the man
Can I be honest?
Like I should have been
Can I be honest?
And not even pretend
Can I be honest ?
This is the deepest pain I've ever had within
Can I be honest ?
I'm sorry and wanted you to know
I'm sorry baby...
