Honest But Happy

from Hope Against Hope by June LaLonde

/

about

I kept the original scratch-vocals for this song under the guise of being honest with myself and those listening. The lyrics talk of such effacing honesty, and I felt the original scratch-track, for all it's faults, fit that concept like a glove.

lyrics

I don't
Want to be wrong
I don't
Want you to hurt

I don't
Want to say I'm sorry
I don't
Want a reason to

I do
Love you madly
I do
Wanna take your hand

I do
Wanna sleep on the phone
I do
Wanna be with you

Darling
My baby doll
When
Trouble
Rears it's head
I'll be
Fighting
For you
Love
And
If I
Start it
I still mean well

I hope against hope
I pray you are right
I don't want to be
Your bad news tonight (x2)

I'm caged
I'm misunderstood
It's my fault
I'm so unclear

I need
To hear you well
I swear
You're my counter-point

I will
Overstep my bounds
Leave me
In your rear-view

I can't
Discern my faults
But you
You're perfection

I know
I seem
Desperate
But Really
You leave
No choice
For me
To bother
With comparing
Myself
Against you
Truly

I hope against hope
I pray you are right
I don't want to be
Your bad news tonight

I pray against pray
I hope against hope
Don't want to be
Your bad news tonight

Honest but happy (x3)
I swear to you

Honest but happy (x3)
I swear to you

I swear to you (x3)
