[Verse 1] You said "Be honest" Like it’s simple Like it doesn’t cost Skin and sleep I taste the future On my tongue Metal Sugar Halfway sweet [Pre-Chorus] If I tell it straight You flinch I break Caught between us And myself [Chorus] Do you want the truth Or do you want me I can’t seem to give you both Can you hold my light When it burns you Or will you ask for smoke I keep choosing hope Till it cuts me Tiny Unseen scars Do you want the truth Or do you want me I can’t unlatch these bars [Verse 2] You call it mercy Keeping quiet I call it rust On my tongue Some days I’m open Like a window Then the wind turns sharp And I’m done [Pre-Chorus] If I stay polite I lose my name If I speak it You lose yours [Chorus] Do you want the truth Or do you want me I can’t seem to give you both Can you hold my light When it burns you Or will you ask for smoke I keep choosing hope Till it cuts me Tiny Unseen scars Do you want the truth Or do you want me I can’t unlatch these bars [Bridge] I am not your mirror Polished just for you (oh) I am all these questions You don’t want to choose If I walk away now Calling it peace Will the bitter in my mouth Ever leave [Chorus] Do you want the truth Or do you want me I can’t seem to give you both Can you hold my light When it burns you Or will you ask for smoke I keep choosing hope Till it cuts me Tiny Unseen scars Do you want the truth Or do you want me Or do I walk out With my heart in shards [Outro] So I whisper Unfinished prayers Soft and low Under breath I lean toward hope One last time Let the bitterness Rest And the words we missed Circle Fading Gentle Distant Finally blessed
