"If I'm Being Honest" lyrics

I could pour my
Heart out to you right now
What good would it do?

And you'd help me
Clean up the mess I made
Only 'cause you think you have to

Nothing has changed
So tell me what changed

If I'm being honest
Every word you say
Cuts through me like a knife
If I'm being honest
I would do anything
To keep you in my life

It's obvious
You've thought this through
And I just want
The best for you
Even when that means
Watching you leave
But I wish I knew
Why you stopped loving me

Though it feels like
My world is tumbling down
I won't let you see

'Cause it's plainly
Written all over your face
How much it hurts you to hurt me

Nothing has changed
So tell me what changed

If I'm being honest
Every word you say
Cuts through me like a knife
If I'm being honest
I would do anything
To keep you in my life

It's obvious
You've thought this through
And I just want
The best for you
Even when that means
Watching you leave
But I wish I knew
Why you stopped loving me

I'm not going to use your guilt against you
Like it's some kind of weapon
When you've done nothing wrong
You've done nothing wrong

I won't twist our story, making it seem
As if you were the villain
I should hate it all along

But if I'm being honest
Every word you say
Cuts through me like a knife
If I'm being honest
I would do anything
To keep you in my life

It's obvious
You've thought this through
And I just want
The best for you
Even when that means
Watching you leave
But I wish I knew
Why you stopped loving me
