Honestly
Sebastian Roca Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wondered if you felt it
Last night I said I meant it
I showed you every minute
In your room
But honestly I never never knew it like you do
And I leave it all behind me just for you
And show I'm in love
(Lately) Lately I don't know much about nothing
But (Lady) every time I see you I feel like lovin'
And (Lately) every time you go and leave
A little piece of me that hurts (Save me)
I'm (Lately) so close now I'm feeling I'm ready
(Save me) Giving me your baby, I can (Baby) not believe myself, yea
(Save me) So I gotta tell ya, I gotta tell ya
But honestly I never never knew it like you do
And I leave it all behind me just for you
Just say yes you do, yes you do
And show I'm in love

In the second verse, the singer reflects on their own feelings of confusion and uncertainty about love. They admit that they "don't know much about nothing" lately but that seeing their love interest makes them feel like "lovin'." However, every time the love interest leaves, the singer feels a "little piece of me that hurts." The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is willing to leave everything behind for their love interest and asks them to reciprocate their feelings.
Overall, "Honestly" is a song about the fear and beauty of falling in love. The lyrics acknowledge the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with opening up to someone but also celebrate the excitement and joy of connecting with another person on a deep level.
