An Honest Song
The Lyrics We Should’ve Had All Along
An Honest Song is a healing rewrite of some of pop’s most iconic love lyrics—gently transformed to celebrate love that heals, nurtures, and grows. It’s a reminder that real love isn’t about drama or hurt. It’s about presence, truth, and grace.
Verse 1
I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
But you’re diving too, not just watching me fall
In all the good times, I feel your grounding
You’re not the silence, you're the call
Verse 2
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you stay
Makes me feel like I can be open
And you don’t push my peace away
Chorus
We found love in a healthy place
Where it doesn’t burn, it gives us space
We found love that doesn’t chase
But meets with truth and holds with grace
Verse 3
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They told me what love wasn't
Now I see it’s calm and patient
And not a war worth fighting for nothing
Bridge
You’re not toxic, I’m not slipping
You’re not poison, just someone listening
I don’t crave you like a drug
I breathe you in, and it feels like love
Final Chorus
I don’t care what they say, I’m not bleeding love
I’m not breaking down to feel it enough
We found love in a steady place
It doesn’t hurt, and it doesn’t fade
Outro
I’m not falling… we’re both diving
Side by side—and both surviving

I'll never meet the ground

We're far from the shallow now

With a taste of a poison paradise
