I'm scared to wander outside major keys So I sing a song that I wrote just to please The fools and the fakes, afraid just like me To be honest
I play my part with a smile painted on At best I'm a clown, at worst I'm a con Convincing the crowd and myself nothing's wrong To be honest
My soul is trembling Knowing they're listening But all that I need to be Is all that you're making me
Chorus I'm leaving the stage You can turn my lights down The curtain is closed I'm taking my bow Lord, help me remember 'Cause I forget how To be honest
I rewrote my story without tragedies Left out the lines that reveal I am weak Erased every reason for you to save me To be honest
My soul is trembling Knowing they're listening But all that I need to be Is all that you're making me
Story Behind The Song: I'm shocked at how fake Christians are with one another. I'm even more shocked at how fake I am. One Sunday in Bible study, we didn't study the Bible. Instead our teacher just asked us if we're honest with each other. Of course we said no. We then talked about all the reasons why - most of which had something to do with fear. I thought about that topic and his questions for days until I realized why I should be honest: If I don't show my weakness, you'll never see God's strength in me - you'll just see mine. (2 Corinthians 12:10)
