Lyrics

Goddamn

Goddamn, it's been a couple days

Since the honeymoon phase

You say

You say you wanna play the long game

You should know that things will change

[PreChorus]

I got some baggage

It's taking me time to heal

And I'm scared that it scares you away

When I get too real

Sometimes I'm too open

Heavy with emotions

Love over all reason

But at least I'm being honest

Sometimes I'm too open

Wrapped up in the moment

But even at my lowest

I'm always being honest

Used to saying yes, used to go with the flow

Even when I wanted to say no

Used to taking shit, used to faking it

'Cause I hated sleeping in my bed alone

Should've cussed him out, listen to my girl

She said he got a way to make it all your fault

Should've stood my ground, should've walked right out

Oh, I should've known that it's not love if he treats me wrong

I got some baggage

It's taking me time to heal

And I'm scared that it scares you away

When I get too real

[Chorus]

Sometimes I'm too open

Heavy with emotions

Love over all reason

But at least I'm being honest (Ohhh)

Sometimes I'm too open

Wrapped up in the moment

But even in my lowest

I'm always being honest

[Outro]

Ooh

I'm being honest with you

I'd rather be real and rejected

Then fake for acceptance

Ooh

I'm being honest with you

I'd rather be real and rejected

Then fake for acceptance, yeah
