Cletis Carr - From an Honest Place Lyrics

'll tell you a secret if you want to hear
I'll share all my wishes, my sorrows, my fears
Cause baring one's soul ain't no disgrace
Know that it comes from an honest place
I laugh at the things that make others cry
Only to hide the darkness inside
When you look at this clown and the smile on his face
Know that it comes from an honest place
My days are battles, my years are wars
I've burned all the bridges and came back for more
When I say that my whole life's been a waste
Know that it comes from an honest place
Down flow the rivers thru mountains and fields to the sea
Up thru the ashes of burned out hopes and dreams
When I feel my soul's being taken away
I know in my heart that I'm aching to stay
When I tell you I'd love you, any time, any way
Know that it comes from an honest place
And if I died tonight, in your embrace
Know that it came from an honest place
