[Verse 1] You ask “am I overreacting?” You want a shoulder Not an answer You say “tell me I’m right this time” You want a mirror Not reflection [Chorus] You want sympathy I’ve only got honesty You want soft and sweet I’m salt on the wounds you keep You call it cruelty When I pull the curtains free You want sympathy I’m honesty (yeah, only honesty) [Verse 2] You keep rehearsing the same story Change the details Keep the glory You say “everyone else did me wrong” But every version Is your song [Chorus] You want sympathy I’ve only got honesty You want soft and sweet I’m salt on the wounds you keep You call it cruelty When I pull the curtains free You want sympathy I’m honesty (you know it, you know it) [Bridge] Do you want to heal Or just be held? Do you want the truth Or something else? If I have to choose Between our peace And what is real I’ll break the spell [Chorus] You want sympathy I’ve only got honesty You want soft and sweet I’m salt on the wounds you keep You call it cruelty When I pull the curtains free You want sympathy I’m honesty (just honesty, honesty)
