Thanks for the Honesty

作曲 : Peter Cope

Nobody's true

Everybody minces words

When they talk to you

I don't know who

Who I can trust

And who is just tool

And I need someone

I can talk to without any fear

I'm glad that I can trust you

So thanks for the honesty

And thanks for not hurting me

It's better that I find out

You don't love me now

Than when we have four kids

Ten years from now

So thanks for the honesty

Because honestly

I don't know what else to say

The feelings were

Not mutual but that's okay

At least you were honest

Hello sir

Would you like to hear a message

About the man that saved you

He said sure

I thought he was golden

But I was just a fool

And within a week

He chose a date to be born again

He canceled it the next day

So I say thanks for the honesty

I'm glad that you stopped capping

I felt kind of empty inside

When you said I already

Have Jesus I'm fine

Thanks for the honesty

And thanks for not bashing me

It's better that we find out you

Don't like the church now

Than on a fast Sunday

When you say something foul

You'll come around

So many people in the world

Will not tell you the truth

So many people in the world

Wear a mask and have a fake tooth

So many people in the world

Will tell you what you want to hear

So many people in the world

Will shrink down in fear

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Here's my resumé

I know I'm kind of young

And my PHD is fake

I just need a job

Gotta take care of the kids

And buy them an easy bake

Then he told me sir

I'm sorry but you cannot work here

You were not meant for work

So I say thanks for the honesty

And thanks for not hiring me

It's better you find out

That I'm a fraud now

Than when I'm CEO

And the stocks are down

You're welcome for honesty

And not taking your money

Can I get some brownie

Points for coming clean

If I get this job I promise

Not to be mean

I'm just being honest
