Lyrics
[verse]
You keep dressing up the truth in easy words
Softening the edges till it can't be heard
I don't need the pretty version of the tale
Just give me something real, even if it fails
[chorus]
All I want is honesty
Not a story built for me
Say the hard thing, say it plain
I'd rather have the truth than lose the rain
[verse]
Every promise wrapped in careful little bows
Every silence dressed as something no one knows
I've been patient, I've been waiting by the door
Just tell me what you're really waiting for
[chorus]
All I want is honesty
Not a story built for me
Say the hard thing, say it plain
I'd rather have the truth than lose the rain
[bridge]
I'm not scared of what you have to say
I've survived worse things along the way
So open up, let the quiet break
Give me something real for both our sakes
[chorus]
All I want is honesty
Not a story built for me
Say the hard thing, say it plain
I'd rather have the truth than lose the rain
