[Verse 1]
You pull up late
Same old hoodie
Leave your shoes by the door
Like you live here
You ask, “You good?”
Eyes on your phone
Say you’re tired
But you stay till dawn

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re scared of calling it love
I say I’m scared of calling your bluff
We keep dancing over the line
Every time, every time

[Chorus]
I can’t keep being halfway honest
Telling you “it’s cool” when it’s not
When it’s not
Laughing like I’m fine in the silence
While my heart’s tied up in a knot
If this is just comfort
Say it if this is something
Don’t play it off
I can’t keep bеing halfway honest
When I’m already caught

[Verse 2]
You kiss my forеhead
Then change the subject
Talk about work
And your old regrets
I pour you coffee
Watch your hands shake
You say you’re trying
But you never stay

[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re scared of ruining the vibe
I say I’m tired of swallowing pride
We keep sleeping over the truth
Me and you, me and you

[Chorus]
I can’t keep being halfway honest
Telling you “it’s chill” when it burns
When it burns
Smiling like I’m not overthinking
Every time you say you’ll return
If this is just habit
Say it if this is real
Then let it be heard
I can’t keep being halfway honest
When my whole heart hurts

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m too much
Maybe you’re too used
To people who leave their feelings bruised
But I’m right here
Clear as the morning
Take me or don’t
Just don’t keep me hoping (Oh)

[Chorus]
I can’t keep being halfway honest
Telling you “it’s cool” when it’s not
When it’s not
Hiding what I feel in the shadows
While you’re all I think about
If this is just comfort
Say it if this is something
Don’t play it off
I can’t keep being halfway honest
When I’m already caught
Already caught
