Lyrics I Once Was an Honest Guy - Adam Douglas

I Once Was an Honest Guy

There’s only one way to fall behind
Abuse my love a thousand times
And I’ve been learning a thing or two
Like when to refuse a point of view
I drain the river dry
And I once was an honest guy
But now I’ve told a lie
I’ve told a lie
I’ve never been one to condescend
But I’ll be here until the end
The worst part of a love that’s lost
Both you and I must pay the cost
I drain the river dry
And I once was an honest guy
But now I’ve told a lie
Maybe I’ll be much better off than before
And I’ve heard both things of what you say
Like yes and no and maybe someday
I’ve thought about it once or twice
But now I’ve paid the highest price
