To Be Honest

Shaun Groves


I'm scared to wander outside major keys 
So I sing a song that I wrote just to please 
The fools and the fakes, afraid just like me 
To be honest 

I play my part with a smile painted on 
At best I'm a clown, at worst I'm a con 
Convincing the crowd and myself nothing's wrong 
To be honest 

My soul is trembling 
Knowing they're listening 
But all that I need to be 
Is all that you're making me 

Chorus 
I'm leaving the stage 
You can turn my lights down 
The curtain is closed 
I'm taking my bow 
Lord, help me remember 
'Cause I forget how 
To be honest 

I rewrote my story without tragedies 
Left out the lines that reveal I am weak 
Erased every reason for you to save me 
To be honest 

My soul is trembling 
Knowing they're listening 
But all that I need to be 
Is all that you're making me
