Honey
ROSES Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honey eyes
Honey, I've been trying
Honey I've seen this world go from black to green
I just wish you would come to me sooner
'Cause I hate waiting
I hate waiting
Honey, I'm really at wit's end
I know that I can do better

And I have
Oh and this time
Things have been a lot harder to do
My habits have been so hard to lose
Yeah you're so hard to lose
Honey, I'm coming down again
I'm waiting for someone to clean this mess
That I'm in
I've used up all my tools
I have none left
I'm really trying my best
But it's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Honey eyes they're so sweet
You know that I have a hard time saying no to treats
Honey I've been someone I shouldn't be
I just wish I knew sooner
You can do everything you want to yourself
But you're never gonna love yourself
If you can't just accept yourself
Where you are at the moment

You know?
So

Overall Meaning

the song starts off with the singer addressing their loved one with the term "honey". They've been trying really hard to do better in life and have noticed positive changes, but they wish that their loved one had come into their life sooner.

The singer is coming down again and waiting for someone to help clean up their mess as they have exhausted all their tools. They're trying their best, but it just doesn't seem to be enough.

The second verse talks about the singer's "honey eyes" being sweet and the singer having a hard time saying no to treats. They admit that they've been someone they shouldn't be and wish they realized it sooner. The singer then gives advice, saying that even though one can do everything they want to themselves, they won't love themselves if they can't accept themselves where they are at the moment.
