Cheap Honesty Lyrics

I know too well
I know these lines
I've seen them smothered
In sleek ridicule

A seedy smile
They think they've scored
But I know morning comes and babes a

Alone again
Too alone again

So what can I do
With cheap honesty
You're giving me more than I can see

But I'm too cool to say
That I want it all my way
Get blasted by this sincerity

I wish I had the streets full view
These people screaming
Through their settled loves

So I pretend so mellowed out
Too teasing, weak enough to long for
Home again, loverly home again

So what can I do
With cheap honesty
You're giving me more than I can see

But I'm too cool to say
That I want it all my way
Get blasted by this sincerity

And I want it all, want it all

So what can I do
With cheap honesty
You're giving me more than I can see

But I'm too cool to say
That I want it all my way
Get blasted by this sincerity

So what can I do
With cheap honesty
You're giving me more than I can see

But I'm too cool to say
That I want it all my way
Get blasted by this sincerity

Get blasted by this sincerity
Get blasted by this sincerity

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A beautiful song. About being in love, and everything seems to be ok, but all the time fearing that things will go wrong again. Seeing dishonesty everywhere, in everybody's seemingly happy life.
