Apprehensive to admit that I am turning strangers into friend
It felt too easy, took too quick now I am anxiously
Waiting for the other shoe to drop cuz I’m not really sure it fits
My swollen ankles twitchin eyeballs sweaty pits
Nervous tics cartoon voices in place of
Being Honest
Being honest with anyone being open to honesty in return
For half hearted efforts breaking old habits trying to learn new
Tricks of the trade of tenderness, self love and showing concern
For my new friends, without losing the old
Because it’s happened before
Because it’s happened before
Several times in my lifetime
I’m really good at losing track of people
I’m really good at staying home and hiding away
I’m gettin really good at gettin kinda drunk by myself
And never texting back
I’m really good at only writing songs about things that I’m not really good at
Like being honest with anyone
Honest with anyone
Honest with anyone opening up to you
So how can we be friends if I’m only friendly?
So how can we be friends if I’m only friendly?
So how can we be friends if I’m only friendly?
So how can we be friends if I’m only friendly and cannot comprehend
The idea of expressing myself
Through anything other than self deprecation
Jokes about how I’m sad that make you uncomfortable
I guess I could try being honest
