[Verse 1]
I don't have a filter like this cigarette
Ask me my opinion, that's what you're gonna get
You know I don't say "dang" when I mean "damn"
With you, I've only ever been who I am
[Chorus]
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm good at hangin' on to what I'm holdin'
But I've never been a fan of sugarcoatin'
You know I won't say "stay" when I mean "bye"
And I hope for your sake you don't ask why
[Chorus]
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
[Bridge]
To tell the truth, I'm not sure which hurts worse
To be the one who hears or the one who says these words
[Chorus]
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin'
I don't have a filter like this cigarette
Ask me my opinion, that's what you're gonna get
You know I don't say "dang" when I mean "damn"
With you, I've only ever been who I am
[Chorus]
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
[Verse 2]
Well, I'm good at hangin' on to what I'm holdin'
But I've never been a fan of sugarcoatin'
You know I won't say "stay" when I mean "bye"
And I hope for your sake you don't ask why
[Chorus]
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
[Bridge]
To tell the truth, I'm not sure which hurts worse
To be the one who hears or the one who says these words
[Chorus]
I can't lie to you 'cause I can't lie to me
So don't ask if you don't want total honesty
I've been drivin', I've been cryin', but I swear I ain't been drinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin' what I'm thinkin'
Even I can't believe I'm sayin'
