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 ain't 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 I've missed you. Let's go for one round more."
Now to be honest, I don't 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, "What'd I say to make you so mad?"
He said, "Nothing baby, it's all my fault" and "I'll
Fix it when I get back."
Well I ain't 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, it's too late this time, you broke my heart for good
