Painfully Honest

Painfully honest, my words are like bullets, but telling a lie would just make you cry.

Sure honesty hurts to, but fuck it i love you, being honest is what i have to do.

(A promise to you...)

(CHORUS): Never slandered your name, never played the wrong game, never put you to shame, never said you were lame. I was honest to you, because i love you, you know that i do, you know that i do...

Painfully honest, my words still like bullets, a terrible day soon to fade away, us both on the phone, us both at our home, as honesty travels across skys and roams.

(CHORUS): Never slandered your name, never played the wrong game, never put you to shame, never said you were lame. I was honest to you, because i love you, you know that i do, you know that i do...

(All this for you... x2)

(CHORUS): Never slandered your name, never played the wrong game, never put you to shame, never said you were lame. I was honest to you, because i love you, you know that i do, you know that i do...

Painfully honest, i'll watch over you, till you fade to black you know that i will.

Painfully honest, Im yours till the end, i'll be more than a lover, i'll be more than a friend.

To be painfully honest, this sucks dick.

can i see your awesome lyrics then?

This sucks dick != I write awesome lyrics.

This is a funny argument going on.

Ignoring the argument... it's something I can say that doesn't turn me OFF, but it's good to my standards (which is very different to a normal person's)

Well it don't look like it fits in my category of music but it is pretty good.

Ive been writing for three years. Most of it is on the Emo side, but thats okay, because i like Emo style/music.

And this just sucks.

Excal do u mean stuff like Billy Talent or Rise Against or Disturbed???

Rise Against is NOT Emo.
Billy Talent though not really considered emo, if you dig deep, you could call them emo.
Never listened to Disturbed.

As for these lyrics, I imagine the song would be a slow and long one, or a fast but short one, I don't see a midway point, there just isn't enough lyrics.
I'd say this would be better as an acoustic song, slow.

The lyrics are at times better then others, which like any songs lyrics, happens.
The part that stuck out for me was

"Never slandered your name, never played the wrong game, never put you to shame, never said you were lame. I was honest to you, because i love you, you know that i do, you know that i do..."

You, undoubtedly know that rhyming isn't needed, but can be used, I feel this is over using the opportunity to rhyme, and that "lame" is a lame word to use in a song and that "game" is cliche.

The rest of the song however had a somewhat Beatles style to it, songs such as "Can't Buy Me Love" "Love Me Do" "All My Loving" "All You Need Is Love"

I would say, if you asked for a rating, my honest opinion, 6/10 with a lot of room for improvement (in this case, room for improvement is good, because it shows that the song is open for interpretation and that you have a lot of paths you can take with it) good job.

Disturbed isn't emo. EVER.

Billy Talent is emo in some songs.

What kind of music would you set this to?

Definitely Acoustic rock.

Oh wait...i gotta get my facts straight, isnt Disturbed's lead singer gay?

And yea, rhyming that much is stupid.

I've gotten better since this i just haven't managed to type up any lyrics in a while.

And yeah i did rhyme a little too much..

xD i never rhyme enuf.

Don't think so.
