When I came home today, saw the bed was made
All the dishes had been cleaned and put away
And I knew Honey had been here and he did the best he could
But as for the reason, well, I aint too sure
See, it was four weeks ago while we laid in bed
after one of our fall-backs when I finally asked him
I said, Honey, why you trying so hard? I thought you wanted out.
And like a dagger thrust into my heart he said For guilt and doubt.
See baby, I feel ready to move on with my life,
but tears still paint your pretty face in the pale moonlight.
Well I realized there and then that Honey loved me no more
So the next day I made plans to get as far as I could go
I traveled New Mexico, ended up in New Orleans
where I kissed a boy from Dallas and let him sweep me off my feet
But when I came back home I saw Honey at the door
saying, Baby, oh, how Ive missed you. Lets go for one round more.
Now to be honest, I dont remember much from that point on
just his sad, sad eyes and a new hole in the wall
Next day as he left for work I asked, Whatd I say to make you so mad?
He said, Nothing baby, its all my fault and Ill fix it when I get back.
Well I aint seen Honey for about a week
I stayed somewhere else last night to get better sleep
but Honey kept on showing up in all of my dreams
so I said a heartfelt prayer for him as I slipped into my jeans
When I came home today, saw the bed was made
All the dishes had been cleaned and put away
And I knew Honey had been here and he did the best he could
But Honey, its too late this time, you broke my heart for good
