I'd Rather Bleed Honest (Official Lyric Video)

Описание: I'd Rather Bleed Honest by Brandon David

Verse 1
I’ve been walkin’ with my pockets full of reasons,
Every one of ‘em worn thin.
I don’t preach, I just believe in
Tryin’ hard and givin’ in.
The nights taught me how to listen,
The scars taught me how to stand,
I ain’t clean and I ain’t wicked,
Just a man doin’ what he can.

Pre-Chorus
If I sound a little broken,
That’s just truth in the tune.

Chorus
Call it foolish if you want to,
I don’t need to be right to be real.
I been down on my knees in the back room,
Tryin’ to feel somethin’ I can feel.
If faith looks dumb in the daylight,
Let it laugh — I’ll take the bruise.
I’d rather walk alone believin’
Than live safe with nothin’ to lose.

Verse 2
I’ve seen men trade love for a dollar,
Seen pride turn mercy away.
Heard God in the hum of a barroom,
Heard the devil in what people say.
I ain’t searchin’ for redemption,
I ain’t runnin’ from my past,
I just keep one foot in the fire
Tryin’ to make the good parts last.

Pre-Chorus
I don’t need heaven to promise me peace,
I just need to sleep tonight.

Chorus
Call it foolish if you want to,
I don’t dress my pain in disguise.
I been holdin’ the line with my heart loose,
Starin’ doubt straight in the eyes.
If believin’ costs me comfort,
Then I’ll pay what I gotta pay.
I’d rather bleed honest questions
Than sell myself cheap for faith.

Bridge
Some prayers don’t sound like prayin’,
Some truths don’t feel complete.
But I’ll take my chances with the quiet
Over lies that sound real sweet.

Final Chorus
Call it foolish — I’ll wear it,
I been worse than wrong before.
If hope’s a sin, then I’ll confess it
On this barroom floor.
I don’t need saints to stand beside me,
I don’t need rules to prove I’m strong.
I’ll walk this road with a little faith left,
And sing it broken when I’m gone.
