[Verse 1] Strongest muscle in the body My tongue is done for From years of corporate training And holding back vomit Everybody wants honesty So long it fits in the room Between “hope you’re well” and “let’s catch up soon” [Pre-Chorus] Truth is cute Until HR gets involved And honesty Doesn’t pay rent “Be authentic!” Get dissected Start a war Then they ask Why nobody talks anymore [Chorus] Honestly? You don’t want honesty You want a spectacle A photogenic meltdown A cry for help That doesn’t ruin the day [Verse 2] “Just be yourself” Says the man with a mortgage And a drinking problem Kissing ass for survival “Speak your mind” Until your mind gets ugly Until it's too much Until it costs them dinner [Pre-Chorus] Tell your boss What you really think See how promoted You get after Truth without consequences Doesn’t count Silence keeps the lights on So why Burn the house down? [Chorus] Honestly? You don’t want truth You clap for restraint With a hint of vulnerability Pre-approved confessions Nothing sharp that implicates [Bridge] “No, I don’t care about your vacation.” “No, I don’t ‘feel safe opening up’.” “No, I don’t forgive them.” “I said ‘fine’ cause I wanted the conversation over.” Watch how fast The room changes [Outro] Honestly? I’m angry More often than I admit I judge people While begging not to be judged And half the time I don’t know if I’m healing Or just articulate the damage better
