[Verse 1]
You came in clean
With that pretty mouth
Said “trust me now”
But you left me out
Red flags on the floor
I stepped right through
I kept one eye shut
Just to stay with you
Now the room feels split
Like cheap glass seams
Every smile you wear
Cuts through my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Just say it straight
Don’t dress it up
I can take the knife
If you lift it up
I’m tired of crumbs
Tired of signs
Tired of chasing
Your crooked lines
[Chorus]
Tell me the truth
I can take it
Tell me the truth
Don’t fake it
If it hurts, let it burn
If it breaks me, I learn
Tell me the truth
I can take it
[Verse 2]
I saw your phone
Face down again
I saw your eyes
Do that little bend
You said “nothing’s wrong”
With a half-breathed laugh
But your silence hit
Like a busted glass
I don’t need a crown
I don’t need a show
I just need the part
You don’t wanna show
‘Cause lies don’t heal
They just delay
Then they rot the bone
And call it okay
[Pre-Chorus]
Just say it straight
Don’t dress it up
I can take the knife
If you lift it up
I’m tired of crumbs
Tired of signs
Tired of chasing
Your crooked lines
[Chorus]
Tell me the truth
I can take it
Tell me the truth
Don’t fake it
If it hurts, let it burn
If it breaks me, I learn
Tell me the truth
I can take it
[Bridge]
I’d rather cry once
Than bleed for years
Rather hear it raw
Than grow from fear
So look me in the eye
And don’t look away
If I gotta lose you
Let it be today
[Final Chorus]
Tell me the truth
I can take it
Tell me the truth
Don’t fake it
If it hurts, let it burn
If it breaks me, I learn
Tell me the truth
I can take it
Tell me the truth
I can take it
Tell me the truth
I won’t break it
If it’s done, let it end
I won’t crawl back again
Tell me the truth
I can take it
