Honest Lyrics by Mermaed

2018

[Verse 1]
I pledge allegiance to myself
Don't need, no, I don’t need your help
Already ran away from home
No, I'm not scared to be alone
I felt safer when I was just across the border
But that safety never made me stronger
Glass ceiling, breaking through
I'm not gonna watch my little attitude

[Chorus]
I won’t back down
Brought up on that holy water
Fighting like my mother's daughter
Standing my ground
The bitter truth is all I promise
If I'm a bitch at least I'm honest

[Verse 2]
I'm waking up to all the noise
And now it's too loud to ignore
Yeah, every melody's a ruse
And no one's looking for the proof
It’s much safer to keep the pretty girls in order
They line them up like sheep to slaughter
But I stood up to the man
Feels so good to know that power’s in my hands

[Chorus]
I won't back down
Brought up on that holy water
Fighting like my mother’s daughter
Standing my ground
The bitter truth is all I promise
If I'm a bitch at least I'm honest

[Bridge]
My war in my head and your hands in my bed
My right of what's left
Time’s up, and we're dead
My war in my head and your hands in my bed
My right of what's left
Time's up, and we're dead
(So the government's got you upset)
My war in my head and your hands in my bed
(Over what they ask, you get undressed)
My right of what's left
Time's up, and we're dead
(You get your dream or lose your soul)
My war in my head and your hands in my bed
(Let the big machines be in control)
My right of what's left
Time's up, and we're dead
(I've come this far, I woke you up)
My war in my head and your hands in my bed
(And if you hear me now then that's enough)
My right of what's left
Time's up, and we're dead

[Chorus]
I won't back down
Brought up on that holy water
Fighting like my mother's daughter
Standing my ground
The bitter truth is all I promise
If I'm a bitch at least I'm honest
