Honest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You know it's not even what you've gone and done
That makes me sad I ain't mad
Never been the type to stop you from having fun
That ain't me I let you breathe
It's what I can't understand; you've had my heart there in your hands
All this time that's gone by, you've still got secrets that you hide
And it doesn't make no sense to me that every time you speak
I've still gotta choose what to believe
Why can't you be honest? I need you to just be honest
Is that so hard to do, and just tell me the truth
Why is it so hard for you to be honest?
Admit that you broke your promise?
And hide behind your lies
Look me in the eyes and be honest
Be honest, be honest, be honest, be honest
I don't wanna fight and I'm not breaking up
And I just want to discuss this thing we call trust
And I'm reaching out and all I'm trying to say
Is for this to work something's have got to change
It's what I can't understand; you've had my heart there in your hands
All this time that's gone by, you've still got secrets that you hide
And it doesn't make no sense to me that every time you speak
I've still gotta choose what to believe
Why can't you be honest? I need you to just be honest
Is that so hard to do, and just tell me the truth
Why is it so hard for you to be honest?
Admit that you broke your promise?
And hide behind your lies
Look me in the eyes, yeah
Why why why?
Won't you open up to me?
Why why why?
What you hiding underneath?
Why why why?
Why is it that you can't see there no wrong in love no secrets between us
Why can't you be honest? I need you to just be honest
Is that so hard to do, and just tell me the truth
Why is it so hard for you to be honest?
Admit that you broke your promise?
And hide behind your lies
Look me in the eyes, and be honest
Be honest, be honest, be honest, be honest
Be honest
Tell me the truth boy
