Sayin' What I'm Thinkin'
Unfiltered Honesty in Love's Expression
Lyrics
I don't have a filter like this cigarette
I express myself without a filter, similar to this cigarette
Ask me my opinion, that's what you're gonna get
If you ask for my opinion, I'll give it to you honestly
You know I don't say "dang" when I mean "damn"
I don't use milder language; I say what I mean
With you, I've only ever been who I am
With you, I've always been true to myself
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
I cannot deceive you because I cannot deceive myself
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
Don't inquire if you're not prepared for complete honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
I've been going through experiences, shedding tears, but I haven't been drinking
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
Even I find it surprising that I'm expressing my true thoughts
Well, I'm good at hangin' on to what I'm holdin'
I excel at holding on to what I have
Well, I've never been a fan of sugarcoatin'
I don't like to sugarcoat things
You know I won't say "stay" when I mean "bye"
I won't ask you to stay if I mean goodbye
And I hope for your sake you don't ask why
And I hope you don't ask why I'm saying this
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
I can't lie to you or to myself
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
Don't ask for the truth if you're not ready for total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
I've been going through experiences, shedding tears, but I haven't been drinking
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
Even I find it surprising that I'm expressing my true thoughts
To tell the truth, I'm not sure which hurts worse
Admitting the truth is painful, unsure if it's harder for the speaker or the listener
To be the one who hears or the one who says these words
Unsure if it's more painful to hear these words or to speak them
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
I can't lie to you or to myself
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
Don't ask for the truth if you're not ready for total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
I've been going through experiences, shedding tears, but I haven't been drinking
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
Even I find it surprising that I'm expressing my true thoughts
Even I can't believe I'm sayin'
