You know it's not even what you've gone and done
That makes me sad, I ain't mad
Never been the type to stop you from having fun
That ain't me, I let you breathe

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

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

I don't wanna fight and I'm not breaking up
And I just want to discuss this thing we call trust
And I'm reaching out and all I'm trying to say
Is for this to work something's have got to change

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

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

Why, why, why?
Won't you open up to me?
Why, why, why?
What you're hiding underneath?
Why, why, why?
Why is it that you can't see there's no wrong in love, no secrets between us

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