I don't speak in code anymore
Guess I've learned that its best to be perfectly clear
At least, I think it might spare me the pain of reliving this year
Not that I haven't seen beautiful things, some that I needed to see.
I just don't want my life to be one lesson learned on repeat
Just like all of these songs that I sing, some I've been singing for years
Just like some of the words that you said still ring in my ears
You called me honest, said that makes me dangerous
If that means you're safer further from the truth
Then it's good to be nothing but honest to you
All of the days of my life I've been searching for all of the truth I can find.
Guess I finally learned that I find it when I've spoken mine
I know I’ve lied like the best of them.
Don't get me wrong. I’m not saying I'm clean
I just can't live the counterfeit life that comes with the deceit
I sort through all of the words that you said, some I just wanted to hear
Still I can not bury the ones I believe were sincere
You called me honest, said that makes me dangerous
If that means you're safer further from the truth
Then it's good to be nothing but honest to you
In the absence of words
Maybe you’re listening to some you haven’t heard
Not in the same way before ‘cause everything got in the way
The minute you walked through the door it was all leading up to the day
You called me honest, said that makes me dangerous
If that means you're safer further from the truth
Then it's good to be nothing
It’s good to be nothing but honest to you
