There’s A Honey
Pale Waves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Live in my heart if you want to
I know you hate it when I'm drunk
But, it's not easy
I wanna feel something different for once

I know my heart is killing you, killing you
I can't help it
'Cause I'm feeling you, feeling you
Oh, honey, please don't say you're gonna leave me
Honey, please don't say you're gonna leave me

I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me
I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me

I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me
I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me

Oh and you're not alright
'Cause I ruined your night
Well honey, that's what I'm good at
Now you're not in sight
'Cause I ruined your mind
Well honey, you knew I'd do that

I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me
I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me

And there's somebody that I know I'm bad for
And you see, I'd like to keep your heart for me
And there's somebody that I know I'm bad for
And I can't look away
I'm addicted to your face, you know

I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me
I would give you my body
But I'm not sure that you want me
I'm not sure that you want me
I would give you my body (There's somebody)
But I'm not sure that you want me (That I know I'm bad for)
I'm not sure that you want me (Bad for)
I would give you my body (There's somebody)




But I'm not sure that you want me (That I know I'm bad for)
I'm not sure that you want me (Bad for)

Overall Meaning

The song "There's A Honey" by Pale Waves is a powerful love ballad that explores the complexities of relationships. The opening lines "Live in my heart if you want to, I know you hate it when I'm drunk, but it's not easy, I wanna feel something different for once" sets the tone for the song, as the singer is asking their lover to stick around even through the hard times. Despite knowing that their actions can be harmful, they still crave for something new and exciting. The chorus "I know my heart is killing you, killing you, I can't help it, 'cause I'm feeling you, feeling you, oh honey please don't say you're gonna leave me" highlights the vulnerability that comes with love as they fear their lover leaving them.


The second verse of the song presents a more physical aspect of love. The singer wants to give their partner their body, but they are unsure if their lover wants them. This feeling of insecurity is reiterated in the following lines "Oh, and you're not alright 'cause I ruined your night, well honey, that's what I'm good at, now you're not in sight 'cause I ruined your mind, well honey, you knew I'd do that." The singer knows that their actions may be destructive, and they may cause harm to their partner, but they cannot help it as they are addicted to their partner's love.


In the last verse, the singer confesses that they know they are bad for someone, and they would like to keep their lover's heart for themselves. The lines "And there's somebody that I know I'm bad for, and you see, I'd like to keep your heart for me" show the internal conflict within the singer. They acknowledge that they may not be the best partner, but they still desire their lover's affection.


Overall, the song is a compelling representation of the emotional turmoil that comes with love. The singer acknowledges their mistakes and vulnerabilities, asking their lover to stay with them despite their flaws.

Live in my heart if you want to
I know you hate it when I'm drunk
But, it's not easy
I wanna feel
Something different for once

I know my heart is killing you, killing you
I can't help it
'Cause I'm feeling you, feeling you
Oh, honey, please don't say you're gonna leave me
Honey, please don't say you're gonna leave me

I will give you my body
But am I sure that you want me
Am I sure that you want me?
I will give you my body
But am I sure that you want me
Am I sure that you want me?

'Cause I would give you my body
But am I sure that you want me
Am I sure that you want me?
And I will give you my body
But am I sure that you want me

Well, honey, you knew I'd do that

'Cause I will give you my body
But am I sure that you want me
Am I sure that you want me?
And I will give you my body
But am I sure that you want me
Am I sure that you want me?

And there's somebody that I long bad for
And you see, I'd like to keep your heart for me
And there's somebody that I know I'm bad for
And I can't look away
I'm ready to see your face
You know

'Cause I will give you my body
But am I sure that you want me
Am I sure that you want me?
And I will give you my body
But am I sure that you want me
Am I sure that you want me?
