And my transparent mind
Refers to a transparent mind, emphasizing honesty or openness.
Won't cover see-through hearts
Draws attention to the vulnerability of emotions despite transparency.
I'll be straight with you now

Just like the rest

But if there's one thing I know it's this

And you know so well

It may never be
