I'm scared to wander outside major keys So I sing a song that I wrote just to please The fools and the fakes afraid just like me to be...honest So I play pretend with my smile painted on At best I'm a clown and at worst I'm a con Convincing the crowd and myself nothing's wrong to be...honest (bridge) My soul is trembling Knowing they're listening But all that I need to be Is all that You're making me (chorus) I'm leaving the stage You can turn my lights down The curtains are closed And I'm taking my bow Lord help me remember Cause I forget how to be honest Honest And I rewrote my story without tragedy Left out the lines that reveal I am weak Erased every reason for You to save me To be...honest (bridge) (chorus)
