[Verse 1]
Hey, how's it going?
Can you meet me down on Adelaide Street?
Can you talk for a moment?
There's no way to say this that easily
And everything I said, I swear I meant it
I need to tell you that this isn't your fault
And I know that I'll probably regret it
And it kills me 'cause the worst part of all

[Chorus]
Is that I hate to hurt you
But I got to be honest
I can't give you what you need, oh
You deserve more than I can promise
And I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna
Baby I'm just tryna be honest
I'm tryna be honest with ya
I don't wanna hurt you
But I'm tryna be honest with ya

[Verse 2]
Hey, can you listen?
I swear to God to you, there's nobody else
You're gonna say that I'm lying
When I tell you every feeling I've had
Was honest and sincere in you were different
And when we kissed I felt like that kid in love, yeah
And I know that I'll probably regret it
I might wish I never said it at all
[Chorus]
'Cause I hate to hurt you
But I got to be honest
I can't give you what you need, oh
You deserve more than I can promise
And I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna
Baby I'm just tryna be honest
I'm tryna be honest with ya
I don't wanna hurt you
But I'm tryna be honest with ya

[Chorus]
'Cause I hate to hurt you
But I got to be honest
I can't give you what you need, oh
You deserve more than I can promise
I don't know what I want exactly
But I'll slowly kill you if I drag you down this road with me
Don't matter that I really love you
At the Adelaide Street, it's back in LA
It reminds me that
I'm just tryna, I'm just tryna
Baby I'm just tryna be honest
I'm tryna be honest with ya
I don't wanna hurt you
But I'm tryna be honest with ya
