Honesty Lyrics

If my life's a joke,
I'm laughin' along
Broke the silver spoon,
And I can do no wrong
But where are you?
Where are you?
I still sing the songs, I've still got the art
I know that you don't, you think that you're smart
So what is the point? And where is the line?
I'm taking my life, you're taking your time
I've nothing to lose, so put on the gloves
Cause I've still got your robot, and he still sends your love
He still sends your love

I know honesty
Is the best policy
But I honestly feel bad saying you're my friend
Cause honestly,
It's been a tragedy
I'm sorry, girl, I think this is the end

I'm throwing no blame, you've always been right
We'll never see things the same, you're day and I'm night
Your love is a game, by virtue of sight
You say you don't know my name, I think that maybe you might
So, no, nothing's alright

I know honesty
Is the best policy
But I honestly feel bad saying you're my friend
Cause honestly,
It's been a tragedy
I'm sorry, girl, I think this is the end

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.
