If I'm Being Honest - Dodie

I was told this is where I would start loving myself

Flirting’s delicious;

proved to be beneficial for mental health

All of my best bits pulled forward, collected, displayed

Sadly I just think that I was disgusting, today

You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon

I’m left a stuttering teen

How did I get here?

It’s all so quick, and I feel sick

Red pushing down on the green

Could you love this?

Will this one be right?

Well if I’m being honest, I’m hoping it might

Could you love this?

Did you plan to fall?

Well if I’m being honest, oh I bet it’s not that at all

Hope has a cost, keeping all fingers crossed and held tight

But I look idiotic, with my limbs all knotted, it don’t feel right

Truly you’ve shaken me, and I think you like how I plead

But I have a hunch that that’s all you wanted from me

You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon

Holding my breath makes me choke

How did I get here?

It’s all so quick, and I feel sick

I’m used to being a joke

Could you love this?

Will this one be right?

Well if I’m being honest, I’m hoping it might

Could you love this?

Did you plan to fall?

Well if I’m being honest, oh I bet it’s not that at all

Oh…

Oh…

Oh…

Could you love this?

Will this one be right?

Well if I’m being honest, I’m hoping it might

Could you love this?

Did you plan to fall?

Well if I’m being honest

If I’m being honest

Well if I’m being honest

Oh, I bet it’s not that at all
