Lyrics

I’ve been living in my own head
Same questions, different nights
I remember when it felt effortless
Before we learned how to fight
Before we learned how to lose trust
When love didn’t come with a cost
Now every thought of stepping back feels too wrong
And every memory of that feels lost

I wonder to myself it could be different
If I just ignore what I know
But honesty doesn’t bend It only tells me,

NO

Honesty is the best policy
So which truth am I supposed to keep
The part of me that wants it back
Or the facts, facts staring right at me
I want to love like I did before
But I know where that road goes
If honesty’s the best policy
Do I follow my heart
Or what I honestly already know?

I hear my heart making promises
That thought already broke
Truth doesn’t care about what I want
It just tells me what I already know

Honesty is the best policy
So which truth am I supposed to keep
The part of me that wants it back
Or the facts, facts staring right at me
I want to love like I did before
But I know where that road goes
If honesty’s the best policy
Do I follow my heart
Or what I honestly already know?

Missing you doesn’t mean I should stay
Wanting more doesn’t change what’s done
Some love is better left untouched
Than relived and undone

I won’t reopen what already broke
Just to prove I can still feel
If I’m honest, walking away
Is the most real thing I can feel

Honesty is the best policy
And the truth is cutting clean
I can miss the way it used to be
Without going back, back to what it means
I want to love like I did before
But not at the cost of losing me
So honesty’s the best policy
And honestly, the truth is letting it be

I know the answer
Even when I don’t feel it
