Just Be Honest

Lyrics

Intro
FEMALE
Yeah…
I ain't asking you for much
I ain't asking you to stay
Just tell me the truth
If you don't love me… say that

Verse 1
FEMALE
Don't tell me you love me if you really don't care,
Don't tell me you need me if you won't ever be there.
All them promises you made, now they sound like lies,
Had me looking in your face while you looked in my eyes.
I ain't saying I'm innocent, yeah, I did some shit too,
But I never made forever sound so damn true.
Now the dishes in the sink, and your shirt on the chair,
And the silence in this house got a hole in the air.

Pre-Chorus
FEMALE
So just look at me now
Say it plain, say it loud
If it's gone, let it go
Don't drag me through the smoke
I can take the pain
I just can't take the fake
If you want out tonight
Then don't make me wait

Chorus
FEMALE
Just be honest
Just be honest
Don't call it love
If it ain't that
Just be honest
Just be honest
I can live with truth
I can't live with that

Verse 2
M
I been trying to find the words,
But every road I take, it hurts.
Yeah, I held you close
And still felt far.
I was half in the room
And half in my scars.
Don't make me the villain
'Cause I faded slow,
I was losing myself
Before I let you know.
And I know you saw it
Every time I changed,
Every late-night text
Was a weak excuse in vain.

Pre-Chorus
M
So just look at me now
Say it plain, say it loud
If it's gone, let it go
Don't drag me through the smoke
I can take the shame
I just can't take the blame
If this house is done
Then say my name

Chorus
FEMALE
Just be honest
Just be honest
Don't call it love
If it ain't that
Just be honest
Just be honest
I can live with truth
I can't live with that

Bridge
FEMALE
If you don't love me
Don't hold me like this
If you're gonna leave
Then leave me with this
One clean cut
One real goodbye
No more almost
No more lie

M
I was scared to say it
Scared to watch you break
But a half-dead heart
Don't make a whole home stay

Final Chorus
BOTH
Just be honest
Just be honest
Don't call it love
If it ain't that
Just be honest
Just be honest
I can live with truth
I can't live with that
Just be honest
Just be honest
Say you want out
And don't look back
