Foo Fighters - But, Honestly Lyrics






Where are you off to with that head of yours?
Is there somewhere you should be?
Was it something that I said the time I held you down
and told you it's not you it's only me?

Maybe

Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't need
(Give my back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
You'll see

What you up to now your mirror's gone?
Is there someone you should be?
Did you think I was just fooling 'round with you?

But honestly
But honestly
But honestly

Don't take what I don't need
(Give me back my peace of mind)
Don't say what I don't need
(Give me back my precious time)
No way you'll silence me
(Give me back my peace and quiet)
Nowhere to hide from me
You'll see

And tonight I thank the stars
As I count my lucky scars
For everything you've given me

And all the wants I gave to you
Something borrowed, something blue
If you want them back
I'll give it to you

Give it to you [15x]

I don't want one thing that I gave to you. [8x]

    Finally found out the song that remind me at 2:43 (ooh-oooo-ooooh): Gettin' In Tune from Who's Next Album. (@ 2:45 where Daltrey sings: "Right in on youuu"). Just the style of the phrase ending.

  24. J.... R....

    3:08 RAAWWWK !!

  25. C.... L....

    It’s a hard choice, but probably my favourite Foo song. The way Taylor’s voice plays off Dave’s is amazing. And then the build up in to the end section is sooooooo good.

  26. A.... ....

    Very good song.

  27. M.... F....

    But, Oh, Nestlé!

    1997: Color and the Shape (Fantastic!)
    2007: Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (Brilliant!)
    2017: Concrete and Gold (Awesome!)
    These past 20 years with Foo Fighters is mind blowing!

    C.... ....

    What about the original album Dave all himself? That is still one of my favorites.

    C.... ....

    They rock!

  32. J.... �....

    Great band and best music

  33. L.... M....

    Most underrated song of all, love it

  34. A.... I....

  39. T.... B....

    somebody know the acoustic guitar that used in this song?

    T.... B....

    At the live version it's a Gibson Elvis Presley Dove.

  40. H.... ....

    Love this so much but disliked for the threat, positive vibes man positive.

    H.... ....

    HighDef Cheer up boy, your makeup is running.

  41. G.... ....

    ive been listening ff for a while now but i keep on discovering new shit thats just PERFECT

  42. w.... ....

    So many memories, every Time I shed a tear.

  43. J.... O....

    the is only 1 bad thing
    that is the fade out at the end

    J.... O....

    I like the fade out but I would love it if they carried it on in another song

  44. N.... K....

    simply perfect

  45. N.... R....

    The riff at the end is just perfect. It couldn't be done any better than this. Amazing 😰

  46. R.... ....

    Butt oon a sleeeeeigh!!!!

  47. M.... ....

    I know a few people might disagree, but this has to be my favorite album

    M.... ....

    Its honestly by far my #1 album by them

    M.... ....

    MrBlathum i agree

    M.... ....

    Agreed. Saved me from my own hell around 2010-2011. Still listen to some songs from the album these days

    M.... ....

    mine too <3

  48. M.... W....

    underrated <3 x

  49. W.... T....

    such an underated song!!

  50. M.... M....

    this song is magical, " but honestly " its even better live :)

    M.... M....

  53. B.... N....

    We loved that song, it´s such a chillng song!

    I play it almost every day on my guitar, and I´ve also a fail song video made for our YT channel! ;) <3 lol

  54. K.... G....

    Though this is probably my least favorite FF album, I must say this song is just as good as something from Wasting Light, or the debut

    K.... G....

    To be honest, even though this may be my least favorite FF album almost every track on this album is good. Maybe not ground-breaking but still good.

  55. G.... M....

    Their most underrated song

    G.... M....

    @TylerDurdenIsRad one of them xD because there is a fucking lot but this is my favorite of the underrated ones

    G.... M....

    @TylerDurdenIsRad so true, on this album there are also Let It Die, Erase/Replace and Come Alive, which are also simply brilliant

    G.... M....

    Sir, a little bit late, but you are SO right. Finally found someone who agrees with me!

    G.... M....

    Hard to choose THAT... what a great catalog...

  56. S.... d....

    quem transa nessa porra

    S.... d....

    Você que não né

  57. L.... R....

    Fade out? Why!!!???

    L.... R....

    coz its over and it doesn't deserve a decent end.

  58. w.... ....

    Such a phenomenal song.  Only great bands make songs like this.

  59. L.... T....

    But, Honestly  this song is AMAZING 

  60. j.... S....

    I've grown to really love this song.

  61. M.... ....

  63. T.... G....

    *Damn, some of these fucking lyrics in the description is wrong.*
    *Here are the correct ones*

    Where are you off to with that head of yours?
    Is there somewhere you should be?
    Was it something that I said the time I held you down
    and told you it's not you it's only me?

    Maybe

    Don't take what I don't need
    (Give me back my peace of mind)
    Don't say what I don't need
    (Give my back my precious time)
    No way you'll silence me
    You'll see

    What you up to now your mirror's gone?
    Is there someone you should be?
    Did you think I was just fooling 'round with you?

    But honestly
    But honestly
    But honestly

    Don't take what I don't need
    (Give me back my peace of mind)
    Don't say what I don't need
    (Give me back my precious time)
    No way you'll silence me

    Give it to you [15x]

    I don't want one thing that I gave to you. [8x]

  64. S.... I....

    I'm big fan of Foo Fighters .....but dude 3:12 to 3:35 that's a complete The Who rip off with increased tempo. Sounds a bit like Won't Get Fooled Again. 

    S.... I....

    The tempo doesn't increase , Lol

    S.... I....

    Whaaaaaa? Ok

  65. T.... J....

    THE END RIFF DOEEEE

    T.... J....

    YES IKR

  66. W.... J....

    Try and punch me!

  67. W.... N....

    2:16 "Something borrowed, something blue"
    The TARDIS?

    W.... N....

    haha exactly what i thought

    W.... N....

    In the episode where Amy and Rory marry they actually call the Tardis something borrowed, something blue, something old and something new.

    W.... N....

    Every damn time.

  68. a.... ....

    peace* of mind
    lol it makes more sense that way

    a.... ....

    That is correct actually. the dude that put the lyrics in the description. he's wrong.

  69. M.... B....

    M.... B....

    Thx dude !

    M.... B....

    M.... B....

    M.... B....

    @druvik how do you do that ? 

    M.... B....

    Especially when it's for justin bieber commercial

  70. c.... ....

    I wish I could write a song like this about heartbreak instead of just being brokenhearted and pathetic.

  71. I.... ....
