Honest

[Verse 1]
Everybody wants to be real
But sometimes you can lose the ones you truly hold dear
Would you be so obsessed about being a hunnid
If that meant that you would wind up being lonely
How would you feel?
Would you still be real?

[Pre-Chorus]
We take the time to let love in
To then stand right in front of it
When we're at war, no one can win
But still your question is-

[Chorus]
Would it kill you to be honest?
Would it kill you to be honest, with me?
Girl, I lie 'cause I love you
You lie 'cause you love me
If truth is the mirror
This shit could get ugly
And that's honest
If we're being honest

[Verse 2]
If I had a dresser full of numbers, you would probably call 'em
To see what recklessness I got involved in
Talking to yourself and trashing my apartment
To find the skeletons inside the closet
If I told you, "You tripping", would you trust me and drop it?
Or would you pack up and leave me regardless?
And ain't nobody perfect, but you still decide to pick a target
Oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
We take the time to let love in
To then stand right in front of it
When we're at war no one can win
But still your question is-

[Chorus]
Would it kill you to be honest? (To be honest)
Would it kill you to be honest, with me? (To be honest)
Girl, I lie 'cause I love you
You lie 'cause you love me
If truth is the mirror
This shit could get ugly
And that's honest
If we're being honest

[Bridge]
Honestly, honesty, has it's thresholds
Has it's ceilings, because the level of honesty
That I can give you, may not able to take or vice versa
And then sometimes things should be left between you and God

[Chorus]
Would it kill you to be honest? (To be honest)
Would it kill you to be honest, with me? (To be honest)
Girl, I lie 'cause I love you
You lie 'cause you love me
If truth is the mirror
This shit could get ugly
And that's honest
If we're being honest
