[Intro]
Tell me the truth boy, tell me the truth boy (Tell me the)
Tell me the truth boy (Tell me the)

[Verse 1]
You know, it's not even what you've gone and done (Done, done)
That makes me sad, I ain't mad
Never been the type to stop you having fun (Fun, fun, fun)
That ain't me, I let you breathe

[Pre-Chorus]
It's what I can't understand
You've had my heart there in your hands
All this time that's gone by
You've still got secrets that you hide
And it doesn't make no sense to me that every time you speak
I've still gotta choose what to believe

[Chorus]
Why can't you be honest?
I need you to just be honest
Is that so hard to do (Tell me the truth boy)
And just tell me the truth (Tell me the truth boy)
Why is it so hard for you to be honest?
Admit that you broke your promise?
And hide behind your lies (Tell me the truth boy)
Look me in the eyes (Tell me the truth boy)
And be honest, be honest (Tell me the truth boy)
Be honest, be honest, be honest
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna fight and I'm not breaking up
I just wanna discuss a thing we call trust, yeah
And I'm reaching out and all I'm trying to say
Is for this to work (If you want it to work)
Something's have gotta change

[Pre-Chorus]
It's what I can't understand
You've had my heart there in your hands
All this time that's gone by
You've still got secrets that you hide
And it doesn't make no sense to me that every time you speak
I've still gotta choose what to believe

[Chorus]
Why can't you be honest?
I need you to just be honest
Is that so hard to do (Tell me the truth boy)
Just tell me the truth (Tell me the truth boy)
Why is it so hard for you to be honest?
Admit that you broke your promise?
And hide behind your lies (Tell me the truth boy)
Look me in the eyes, yeah (Tell me the truth boy)

[Bridge]
Why, why, why? (To be honest)
Won't you open up to me?
Why, why, why? (To be honest)
Oh why, what you hiding underneath?
Why, why, why? (To be honest)
Why is it that you can't see there no wrong in love
No secrets between us
[Chorus]
Why can't you be honest?
I need you to just be honest
Is that so hard to do (Tell me the truth boy)
And just tell me the truth, yeah (Tell me the truth boy)
Why is it so hard for you to be honest?
Admit that you broke your promise?
And hide behind your lies (Tell me the truth boy)
Look me in the eyes (Tell me the truth boy)
Yeah, and be honest, be honest, oh, be honest (Tell me the truth boy, tell me the truth boy)
Be honest, be honest (Tell me the truth boy, tell me the truth boy)
Be honest, ah... (Tell me the truth boy, tell me the truth boy)
(Tell me the truth boy, tell me the truth boy)
