[Hook] I could feed you something easy, keep you happy for a week, Tell you everything you're wanting so your feelings never leak, But I'd wake up as a stranger and I'd hate the man I speak, So I gave you what I meant and now you're distant when I seek, If the honest man's a problem, go and find the one you seek. [Verse 1] I done watched a hundred dudes say what a woman wanna hear, Then go home and do the opposite, then start it up next year, And they never get the distance, never get the missing gear, They get everything I'm losing just for keeping shit sincere, So I asked myself last night if I'm the stupid one in this, If a mouth that don't perform is just a spot I always miss, And I sat there for an hour with a question I dismissed, 'Cause the day I start pretending is the day I don't exist, I don't got another gear, there ain't no lever I can pull, What I said is what I'm holding, and my hands stay pretty full, You can call it inconvenient, you can call the whole thing dull, But it's mine and it's consistent and it don't come with a lull, So I ain't gon' send the message tryna water down the take, I ain't gon' rewrite the moment just to keep us from a break, You asked me for the truth, I didn't hesitate or fake, And I'd say it all again, even knowing what's at stake. [Hook] I could feed you something easy, keep you happy for a week, Tell you everything you're wanting so your feelings never leak, But I'd wake up as a stranger and I'd hate the man I speak, So I gave you what I meant and now you're distant when I seek, If the honest man's a problem, go and find the one you seek. [Verse 2] And I know exactly why they lie, it works, that's why it's used, It's the shortcut to your comfort and it never leaves you bruised, Till the day the story cracks and now you're standing there confused, Wondering who the hell you loved and how the years got misused, I ain't building that with nobody, that's a house with no foundation, Every wall a different story, every room a fabrication, I'd rather be alone in something small with no decoration, Than be somebody's favorite lie and call that a relation, So if this is where it ends, then let it end while I'm intact, I ain't trading who I am for somebody who won't react, And the doubt you put inside me, yeah, I felt it, that's a fact, But I dug it out this morning and I'm putting it right back, I'm the same man that I was before I opened up my chest, Same mouth, same intentions, same refusal to suggest, You can leave me with the honest and I'll wear it like a vest, 'Cause I'd rather sleep as me than wake up somebody's guest. [Hook] I could feed you something easy, keep you happy for a week, Tell you everything you're wanting so your feelings never leak, But I'd wake up as a stranger and I'd hate the man I speak, So I gave you what I meant and now you're distant when I seek, If the honest man's a problem, go and find the one you seek.
