But Honestly, Really?

If you had just been honest

About the way you felt

Then when I've been around him

My heart wouldn't melt.

If you had just been honest

With me that one time

Then I wouldn't feel this mad

Or want him to be mine.

If you had only told me

That you really liked him,

I would have dropped my feelings

Just to please your whim.

And I really should have known

When I saw you two together

But I trusted what you told me,

Now I'm wishing I'd known better.

It's not like I haven't done this

The situation is nothing new,

I've always given up the guy

And I would've done the same for you.

But I'm tired of playing possum

With feelings falsely dead

'Cause now I'm twisting up inside

A thousand thoughts shot through my head.

And it isn't fair when I can't compete

You're hands down, drop dead hot,

And when it all boils down

You've everything I haven't got.

That everything will get you him

But I think I might still try

All I know is that this time

You won't see this girl cry.

I wish that liking him first

Was something that really mattered,

Because I'm ready to tear my heart out,

Relief falling with a splatter.

But I'm good at faking

How I really feel,

And I'll trick you if I need to

So well, you'll think it's real.

But I honestly could vomit

At the way history's been repeating,

Because I know when it comes to you

Boys are often fleeting.

Because YOU get bored, YOU don't care

You're pretty enough to do that.

But my situation's a little different

You're a tigress, I'm a house cat.

This is my call out to you,

This is how I really feel,

But I'll take every measure

To make sure you don't ever hear.
