honesty

I grew up, but I never felt I could keep up
With the eyes on me
Eyes that pay no mind to my mind
But minded my body
I've never been loved formally
Sex in the sheets, but can't comfort me
After they come for me
'Cause I won't make love if you're not the one
'Cause I need your soul, baby
That's enough for me
Ooh, I tried to work for love
Thought I could make it if I fought enough
Learned my lesson quick, I gave that up
Now I won't settle 'cause my love is trust
I know what's good for me
I know I can't mess it up
What's for me won't miss me
I'll receive everything meant for me
Won't you come with me

Honestly, art takes honesty
Loving me how I need to be loved
Fucking me how I need to be fucked, oh

I've been through so many things
Eye done seen oh so many things
My body remembers you touching me
But can you leave your mark on me
Undo my spirit completely
I want to be comfortable
In this love we make, it's so

Honestly, art takes honesty
Loving me how I need to be loved
Fucking me how I need to be fucked, oh

Riding down the city with my foot on the pedal
I just picked some flowers
I picked off all the petals, yeah
Love me, love me not
Love me, love me not
Love me, love me, love me, love me not
Love me, love me not
Love me
Riding down the city with my foot on the pedal
I just picked some flowers
I picked off all the petals, yeah
Love me, love me not
Love me, love me not
Love me, love me, love me, love me not
Love me, love me not
Love me

And body needs peace
And soul wants pleasure
And look at us now
Getting so much better
I finally made it
We are what we treasure
In this moment in time
No, we could not measure
The infinite source of faith that we have
In this moment here
We're created to last
