David Whittingham - Honesty

To be honest I can’t do that thing at the weekend,
I’m sure you’ll understand,
After all,
You are the last person I love
Why,
Because
Because
Because
Can I be honest?
I hate the way I look,
I hate the way I feel,
I hate the way I seem,
I hate who I am,
In fact-
I hate what I've become.
That’s no good reason.
Now I hate you to.

To be honest I can’t do that thing at the weekend,
I'm sure you’ll understand,
After all,
You are the last person I love
Why,
Because I'm really really sick,
Awww can I take care of you,
No no, just the flu or something,
But I really want to,
I don’t want you to catch it,
I’m prepared to take the risk,
Look, can I be honest,
Of course,
I’m hanging out with my boys,
Do you mind?
Of course not,
And now I hate you

To be honest I can’t do that thing at the weekend,
I’m sure you’ll understand,
After all,
You are the last person I love
Why,
I’ve got a work thing,
Major important,
You know what my boss is like,
Work,
Work,
Work,
Can I see you later?
Well, no, were working late.
Look, can I be honest,
I’m seeing someone else,
Can we talk about this?
You lying shit,
No, of course not
And now I hate you

To be honest I can’t do that thing at the weekend,
I’m sure you’ll understand,
After all,
You are the last person I love
Why,
…………………………………..
And now I hate me
