lyrics

Frankly

I’ve had a lot of thoughts
Maybe that qualifies me to speak, but maybe not
I’ll be the first in line to open up
And say my thoughts aren’t always true to what I really thought
And I’m just trying
To speak my mind and
I’m hoping I can finally see
Lately I have noticed
That I rarely know my motives
They’re always hidden somewhere underneath
For now, I see dimly

You see, I know what it is like
To be branded as a man that has all of the answers
But I also know the fear
Of failing as a husband, failing as a father, failing as a friend
And I keep wishing
That I’d wake up different
That I’d become the man I’m meant to be
Lately I have noticed
That I rarely know my motives
They’re always hidden somewhere underneath
For now, I see dimly

For now, I know in part
And I’ve been wrong before
More than once. More than once

Sometimes I think I’ve found
What’s driving these illusions to roll round and round
And I keep praying
For that final day when
My reflection has a perfect view
But for now, I see dimly
For now, I see dimly
For now, I see dimly
