Honesty

I didn't want to start with lies.
But I guess the truth of me was too much for you.
I was too much for you.

But I'd rather have had us fall apart the way we did,
Instead of you falling for the outline of who I could be
And after I finally filled myself up with the colors of who I am
You'd decide it was too much
And leave.

Maybe, this way, my honesty can heal my heart, because lies would only be able to try and hide the wounds of truth.
