Honest Livin'
I’m on the battlefield, I’m the only fighter down, wearing a bullet crown
Keep telling myself it’ll turn out alright, but dawn’s hope fades in the blackness of night.
Give me a second chance, give me a second chance, now that I know what the world wants from me -
Give me another go, give me another go, if you believe I can do it, I’ll let you see.
I feel like the world needs to be a bit more forgivin’
‘Cause mistakes, our mistakes, are just honest livin’.
I envisioned being able to realise a dream, where you were my star in the sky, I was your sunbeam
But I didn’t get what I expected, so alone and scared – I walked into this fight so unprepared.
Give me a second chance, give me a second chance, now that I know what the world wants from me -
Give me another go, give me another go, if you believe I can do it, I’ll let you see.
I feel like the world needs to be a bit more forgivin’
‘Cause mistakes, our mistakes, are just honest livin’.
Why do you do this? Hold my errors against me? Who can set me free?
And how can I learn from the mistakes you hate me for? Why are my old bruises still so sore?
Give me a second chance, give me a second chance, now that I know what the world wants from me -
Give me another go, give me another go, if you believe I can do it, I’ll let you see.
I feel like the world needs to be a bit more forgivin’
‘Cause mistakes, our mistakes, are just honest livin’.
They’re just honest livin’.
