The Honest Man Lyrics

If I could live, the life I'd live
Would be the life of an honest man
And the last thing they would say of me
Was that he believed in honesty
But I have lied to save myself
And I have lied for someone else
And I have lied

If I could live, the life I'd choose
Would be a life that I could not lose
Over all my troubles I would win
Finish all that I begin
But if they were talking about those who'd won
My name would be the last one,
The last one

And if you want something better
You'll have to be alone
You don't believe in relgion
Well, you're not the only one

If I could love the love I'd give
Would be the love that I give to you
And if you ever broke my heart
I would forgive you
I can feel the bones in your fingers
I am kissing the skull beneath the skin
If you put your head in the fire
I will put mine in

And if you want something better
You'll have to be alone
You don't believe in relgion
Well, you're not the only one

You want to see the future
But you're standing in the way,
Standing in the way
You want live forever,
Well, forever starts today,
Starts today

Your face is with me but now it's gone
I had tomorrow gbut now it's come
Your hand in my hand will never die
Your hand in my hand and never good-bye

And I want something better
I dno't want to be alone
I believe in religion
I believe in the honest man
I believe in the honest man
