Halfway Honest (R&B/Wavy)

Описание: [Intro]
[filtered, distant]
You hit my phone
Same old name
Same ringtone
Heart still jumps, I hate that

[Verse 1]
Skin on screen
You in that tee I bought last spring
Say you fine
Eyes say everything but “fine”
You talk small talk
I hear all the pause between your words
You say you “good”
Why it sound just like it kinda hurts?

[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me, “You still up?”
Girl, you know I never sleep
You say, “I don’t want much”
But you stayed on the line all week
I’m tryna read between
Every “lol” you send to me
Tell me what you really mean
Tell me what you really need

[Chorus]
If you stay, don’t say you “okay”
Be halfway honest with me
You ain’t gotta bleed on the floor
Just crack that armor for me
If you cry, don’t wipe your eyes
And call it allergies
If you love me even a little
Be halfway honest with me (yeah)

[Verse 2]
You say, “We cool”
But you still jealous of my past
Scroll my page
Then you double back and laugh
“Do you miss her?”
You throw the question, then you flinch
You say, “Forget it”
But your voice got that little pinch

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m asking, “You still scared?”
You say, “Guess I always been”
You say, “I don’t do prayers”
But you whisper one under your breath again
We both got baggage, yeah
We both got damage, see
But I’m right here on the edge
Jump with me or let me be

[Chorus]
If you stay, don’t say you “okay”
Be halfway honest with me
You ain’t gotta bleed on the floor
Just crack that armor for me
If you cry, don’t hide that light
And call it vanity
If you love me even a little
Be halfway honest with me (oh, with me)

[Bridge]
[drop to half-time, drier vocal]
I know your father left
Your mama worked two jobs
You learned to fix yourself
Never learned to trust a call
I know I got my ways
I shut down, go cold, go quiet
But when you shaking in my hands
Girl, I’m choosing not to hide it

[Chorus]
If you stay, don’t say you “okay”
Be halfway honest with me
You ain’t gotta bleed on the floor
Just crack that armor for me
If you cry, don’t wipe your eyes
And call it allergies
If you love me even a little
Be halfway honest with me

[Outro]
[half-time holds, then slowly swell back]
Stay on the line
Breathe in my ear, don’t speak
We don’t need the perfect words
Just a little more truth this week (yeah)
Halfway honest
Halfway honest with me
