It's like a opening a window and letting in a fresh breeze
It clears the stink and musty smell of a room
It helps you gain perspective
On how to go on from here
"I'd like a little honesty." I say.
But that's a lie.
What I really mean: "I'd like complete and utter overwhelming honesty, all the honesty in the world if you please."
But again that's a lie.
Cause if I wanted honesty.
I'd be honest with myself. The reason I keep listening. Is not because I'm kind.
Somewhere deep inside, I want to believe the lies. Indulge in the instantaneous gratification they afford.
Even if later it makes me hurt.
Because here I say I'd like a fresh breeze in my face.
When all I ever had to do, was open the window.
Song Version:
Chorus 1:
It's like opening a window
and letting in a fresh breeze
It clears the stale, musty smell of a room
It helps you gain perspective
On how to go on from here
I'd like a little. I'd like a little honesty I say.
Chorus 2:
It's like walking on a cold day
after a warm fire
It gets your blood pumping in your veins.
It helps you remember. What it is you used to be.
I'd like a little. I'd like a little honesty I say.
Chorus 3:
It's like pulling off a bandaid.
Or feeling something sting.
The pain helps remind you of what still needs to heal.
It helps you not ignore things. Like wounds that need to be tended to.
I'd like a little. I'd like a little honesty I say.
Verse 1:
But that's a lie.
What I really mean.
I'd like complete and overwhelmingy honesty.
all the honesty in the world.
for everyone but me.
Verse 2:
But again that's a lie.
Cause if I wanted honesty.
I'd be honest with myself.
The reason I keep listening. Is not because I'm kind.
Somewhere deep inside, I want to believe the lies.
Bridge:
Because here I say I'd like a fresh breeze in my face.
When all I ever had to do, was open the window.
