[Verse 1] I eat alone tonight a single plate in the sink Your old words still Live in my skin I learned to flinch At a quiet room I learned to hide From love too soon [Pre-Chorus] But I still leave a light on For somebody true I still hold a small hope That hope comes through [Chorus] Be honest with me Be kind to me No more hurt in my house No more pain in my sleep Be gentle with me Stay true with me I want a real heart That stays with me [Verse 2] I want hands that heal Not hands that break A voice that softens What fear makes ache I don't need perfect I need safe I need a love That knows my name [Pre-Chorus] So if you come close Come clean, come calm No cruel storm No false alarm [Chorus] Be honest with me Be kind to me No more hurt in my house No more pain in my sleep Be gentle with me Stay true with me I want a real heart That stays with me [Bridge] If you see the tears Don't turn away If I go quiet Don't make me pay Take me as I am With my broken past And if you mean it Let it last [Final Chorus] Be honest with me Be kind to me No more hurt in my house No more pain in my sleep Be gentle with me Stay true with me I want a real heart That stays with me Be honest with me Be kind to me I want a real heart That stays with me
