The Holdup – Honest Lyrics

Ska

Something's wrong, it's been two days
and that's too long for you not to say shit.
Whats going on? Feels like I'm being played
and I'm way too honest for you to play a game.
Well I'm trying not to give into pride
tryna tell the truth when I look in your eyes.
But your afraid I'll say I'm over you first,
so you ignore me just so you dont get hurt.
It's not fair,
It's not fair.
You're too scared,
You're too scared
That someone else will hurt you and your tryna be prepared,
but all your really doing is damaging me
the same was done to you.
I wont let you leave all your baggage with me,
something I refuse to do.

Sick of putting myself out there and getting nothing in return.
I'm tired of telling myself I dont care,
when I know I care for sure.
Cuz I need to be honest now,
But I honestly don't know how.

Said you got some things on your mind.
That I'm overreacting and you just needed some time,
I get the feeling you think that I'm blind.
Told me to be patient and I told you that I'm trying,
but I wish I could believe you,
you gotta wall up, and now I can see through.
I wish that I could need you,
but you're not being truthful, I'd never decieve you.
I'm tryna grow up here, I'm tryna be honest,
there's no point in games if we both really want it,
but you're too afraid and it's not what I wanted.
I thought you were great, but you're breaking your promise.
You're always gonna risk getting hurt,
and maybe that's what gives love its worth.
But being alone would be worse
You need to accept it, you're never protected.

Sick of putting myself out there and getting nothing in return.
I'm tired of telling myself I don't care,
when I know I care for sure.
Cuz I need to be honest now,
But I honestly dont know how.

Yeah I've been a little careless
but in all fairness,
Girl I never really had a chance.
I used to be awesome at weighing my options
and making my mind up way in advance.
I thought I was prepared
but my life didn't care
and I wasn't aware
til you walked down the stairs
with your hair all done up
looking sexually fearless
and whispered a line in my ear that I shouldn't repeat
cuz my mother could hear this.
But at the time I dont think I could've cared less.
For a while I believe every word that you told me
and never would question when you would ignore me
and leave for the night while I'm deep in a session
and come back in a different shirt than you left in.
And no I get it, nah shit, this is kinda depressing
But I guess it's called learning my lesson.

Sick of putting myself out there and getting nothing in return.
I'm tired of telling myself I dont care,
when I know I care for sure.
Cuz I need to be honest now,
But I honestly dont know how.
