Stating The Obvious

You know the trouble with me
I’m not afraid to say what I feel
I can’t stand to sit in silence
While the raw emotions go unspoken
Words that would help you to heal
I’m not about to risk
Letting you leave without honesty

Now you’re raising your hand
To say you never signed up for this
Stick your head in the sand
But no good ever came of it
You can’t deny the benefits
Of being honest
I’m not tryna cause trouble
I’m just stating the obvious

You’ll only live to regret
All the feelings that went left unsaid
I don’t mean to embarrass you
By dragging out the past
But it’s the only way out of this mess
You think I’m crazy
For wanting a little integrity

Now you’re raising your hand
To say you never signed up for this
Stick your head in the sand
But no good ever came of it
You can’t deny the benefits
Of being honest
I’m not tryna cause trouble
I’m just stating the obvious

If you’re pretending
You don’t feel the things that you do
How’s the world supposed to know
How it feels to be you?
If you’ve got something you know
Then you own it
There’s no-one who can
Steal your truth

Now you’re raising your hand
To say you never signed up for this
Stick your head in the sand
But no good ever came of it
You can’t deny the benefits
Of being honest
I’m not tryna cause trouble
I’m just stating the obvious

I get tired of holding it down
Just a voice that gets lost in the crowd
I think we could all afford
To be more open with each other
And there’s no shame in letting it out
I wanna show you that
Nothing but good can come outta this

Now you’re raising your hand
To say you never signed up for this
Stick your head in the sand
But no good ever came of it
You can’t deny the benefits
Of being honest
I’m not tryna cause trouble
I’m just stating the obvious
