I’d Rather Be Honest (Bonus Track)
Verse:
Dark as night, desolate, no moonlight
An empty sky, the stars are gone
You burst like a meteor fallin' white
Short of time, movin' on

Prechorus:
And I may have lied
But I promise I tried
So when you ask why
You'll know

Chorus:
I'd rather be honest
And tell the truth
Instead of just sayin' what I think you want me to
Tired of silence, yeah, it's talkin' for us
I'd rather be honest
But that's not enough

Verse 2:
Dream in life, it gets better every time
But nightmares try to steer you wrong
Awake in life, burnin' the (?) lies
It finds our eyes, and then you're gone

Prechorus:
And I may have lied
But I promise I tried
So when you ask why
You'll know

Chorus:
I'd rather be honest
And tell the truth
Instead of just sayin' what I think you want me to
I'm tired of silence, yeah, it's talkin' for us
I'd rather be honest
But that's not enough

Bridge:
And I tried to call twice, but you didn't pick up this time
Guess I should've taken your advice
All I wanted was to hear your pretty voice on the line

Chorus:
I'd rather be honest
And tell the truth
Instead of just sayin' what I think you want me to
I'm tired of silence, it talks so loud for us
I'd rather be honest
But that's not enough

I'd rather be honest
But that's not enough

I'd rather be-
