If I'm Honest

You'll probably see this in the headlines
 And let me tell you, almost all of it's true
 But we both know that I'm dead right
 And I don't know what else you want me to do
 I've been saying this a long time
 Not a lot of people hear what I say
 So when you see it in the headlines
 Maybe then you'll see it's always this way
 They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out
 But that won't change my mind
 If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die
 Not afraid to live, not afraid to try
 If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind
 Couldn't break me down
 So don't waste your time
 If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright
 ♪
 You can put me in the spotlight
 And the world will try to pull me one way
 But it's gonna be a long night
 I've been around the block and I know this game
 I won't wait until it feels right
 Cause the truth is something long overdue
 You could put me in the spotlight
 Maybe then my words would finally break through
 They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out
 But that won't change my mind
 If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die
 Not afraid to live, not afraid to try
 If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind
 Couldn't break me down
 So don't waste your time
 If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright
