lyrics

You said my jeans were torn by choice

But the knee got caught on the bus door seam

At 2:14, with a plastic spoon

You read my face like a leaked screen beam

My phone face-down on the café tile

Your thumb still on the cracked blue case

You said, "Don't ask if you don't want it"

Then slid the truth across the table space

You fold my lie in half

I watch it lose its shape

Your words land cold and clean

Right on the sugar sachet

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

In the mirror by the laundromat sink

My hood was up, my lashes glued

You pointed at the stain on my sleeve

Said, "That wasn't rain, that was you"

You know the lock on my door by sound

You hear the click before I do

You didn't dress it up in a pretty bow

You handed me the bruise in blue

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

At midnight, your voice in my earbuds crackles

You say my name like a warning light

I hate how you keep the room so honest

When I was trying to sleep in white

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

Tell me straight

Tell me straight
