Be Honest Lyrics

Cover art for Be Honest lyrics by Jason Mraz

I think this song is kind of hypocritical. It's saying 2 things. One is that no matter what, you know in your heart that you will care about this person forever. It's something that is uncontrollable and it's just the truth. Hence my love is unconditional and the no commitment necessary aspect of it. Like we should both be free kind of a message.

But then the other side of the song is saying be honest, meaning what am I to you? Even though commitment isn't absolutely necessary, the person still wants to know where they stand.

So its kind of like take your time and figure out what i mean to you, and know that I will love you regardless, but eventually, let me know. That's why I feel like its a double meaning situation.
