[Verse 1]
Let me try be honest
I'm not used to this
I tell lies to avoid having to be honest
It don't come easy, I don't wanna be see-through

[Chorus]
Feelings give too much away
Don't wanna tell you if I'm in pain
Feelings give too much away
Don't wanna tell you I love you, babe
I see me gettin' hurt if I open my heart
So I keep it closed
Looks like I just can't be honest

[Verse 2]
Let me try be honest
Is this just a blip in my life at this time?
Hating to be honest
This happens weekly, I don't ever get no sleep

[Chorus]
Feelings give too much away
Don't wanna tell you if I'm in pain
Feelings give too much away
Don't wanna tell you I love you, babe
I see me gettin' hurt if I open my heart
So I keep it closed
Looks like I just can't be honest
Looks like I just can't be honest
[Bridge]
Let me try be honest
Wanna plead the Fifth
But this time, I can't lie
Gotta try be honest
I can't keep hiding, I don't wanna live like this, but

[Chorus]
Feelings give too much away
Don't wanna tell you if I'm in pain
Feelings give too much away
Don't wanna tell you I love you, babe
I see me gettin' hurt if I open my heart
So I keep it closed
Looks like I just can't be honest
Looks like I just can't be honest
Looks like I just can't be honest
Looks like I just can't be honest
Looks like I just can't be honest
