Hotel Books - I Knew Better, But Did Nothing Lyrics

Походу от тура Мирона тут только я •_•
А трек то супер.

6.2k views... it breaks my heart this band changed my life and I want them to be recognized I want others to feel the power that could emotionally change them.

Wouldn't it be easier to be honest with your heart on your sleeve ?

EXPOSING THE TRUTHERS I believe it's 'dishonest' and not 'this honest'. Don't quote me on that tho.

its dishonest,wasn't so obv?

you've been wasting this voice the whole time? nice track

Hotel Books is music for the truly broken, I feel happy when I listen to this.
But j also feel heartbroken..
But that's good because that makes us human

i think this style realy works for hotel books

I can't even put into words how much I love hotel books.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm not proud of the things I've done
But I'm proud of the person that I can become
Cause somewhere between day one and now
I tried to chase a popular sound
I tried to chase a comfort for those around
But when the show ends
We're sleeping on hardwood beds
Praying to God we find out if we got the support slot or not
That can make break our sound in the end
Hoping we can move into another market
Rather than one that made us
Rather than one that changed us
So, we wanna take a detour and
Change behavior and make more
Find our faces on the fader and pitchfork
And digress even more

[Chorus]
What did you expect from me?
It's hard to be this honest with my heart on my sleeve
Where do I go? What can I be?
Nothing equals nothing, this did nothing for me

Break

[Verse 2]
We just hoped our rebellion
Would look like rebellion rather than what it is
That target for millennials to put their faith in
But I'm proud to say we made some people
Looking into themselves rather than the evil
And I'll always thank the ones who trusted to me
Enough to join me on this journey
Even the ones who didn't stick around
I'm still grateful for the ones who helped shape the sound
Now I just need to thank God for this forgiveness

[Chorus]
What did you expect from me?
It's hard to be this honest with my heart on my sleeve
Where do I go? What can I be?
Nothing equals nothing, this did nothing for me
What did you expect from me?
It's hard to be this honest with my heart on my sleeve
Where do I go? What can I be?
Nothing equals nothing, this did nothing for me

[Outro]
Now I can thank God for the idea of forgiveness
And I can thank God that I'm still in this
'Cause I love the idea of a future
'Cause though it never comes, it's somehow always happening
And every moment that I'm not asleep is a moment where I think
Maybe I should've just finished it up and gotten that degree
'Cause mom I made it
I just wish I would have learned something
'Cause now this emptiness haunts me

Hmm its possible, but I listened to it over and over and I'm still hearing this honest. They both make sense but mean different things lol. Not sure which one it is.

They sound the same yes but the singer always speaks about his raw honest feelings (heart on my sleeve) thus why i think its dishonest but this is just my opinion :)

I know I've been listening to him since his first album released and no worries guess well all have to wait for official lyrics.

I definitely hear "this honest" as well, although to me dishonest would make more sense. However, I hear "this honest".

dishonest...*
