Wrong Kind of Honest

She said "baby talk to me, open up your heart"
I said "funny you should ask, guess where I'll start"
She wanted deeper feelings, a little less guessin'
I gave her a headline she wasn't expecting

Oh I opened up alright, laid it all out bare
Now she's throwin' my suitcase down the stairs
She asked for communication, I brought the whole report
Turns out "honesty" wasn't what she was lookin' for

I said "you want transparency? Here's the deal"
"My girlfriend's been trippin', it's a whole ordeal"
She just stood there blinkin', coffee mug mid-air
I said "see? This is me, openin' up, I swear"

Now let me set the scene, paint the whole affair
Girlfriend's callin' twice a day, actin' like I'm not there
Sendin' me these paragraphs, readin' way too much
Into a text I sent her just to say "good luck"
I told my wife "she's spiralin', it's honestly a lot"
Wife said "WHAT girlfriend." Oh. Right. I forgot
That was information she did NOT have before
Guess communication's got a learning curve, y'all

Oh I opened up alright, laid it all out bare
Now she's throwin' shit at me, it ain't fair
She asked for communication, I brought the whole report
Turns out "honesty" wasn't what she was lookin' for

Some things you keep between you and the void
Some grenades you don't just casually deploy
Lesson learned the hardest way there is
Not every truth's a gift, sometimes it's just... this

The one person I thought I could trust with my business
Turned out to be the judge, jury, and witness
So if your wife says "talk to me, don't do it"
Read the room, my friend, before you begin
'Cause I opened up alright, man, did I ever
And tonight I'm sleepin' on the couch forever
