Honor on the Run Songtext

von Martinez & Guthrie

Holding what could be said,
And you wrap it in
A nod and a grin-
I'll cover for you again

Teasing your friends
And telling them what a pleasure it's been-
I covered for you again

Misguided, and honor is on the run,
Discouraging all of the years that go by.
Shine on the promises,
Knowing that intentions will fade-
I'll cover for you again.

Armed with apologies,
Offerings drenched in distain-
And I covered for you again

Misguided, and honor is on the run,
Discouraging all of the years that go by.

Enduring contradictions,
Forgiving all who listen to me-
Why then are you covering for me?
Waiting for the day
When I can be honest with me
And not cover for me again.
