Let's Be Honest
Stone Sour Lyrics

Oh disaster, I know I'm long overdue
I acknowledge that something bad is coming my way, and I am aware that it should have arrived by now.

There's no answer, I know I shouldn't have listened to you
I have come to the realization that there is no solution or response to the problem and it's because I made the mistake of taking your advice.

Before I let you decide, you have to know that I lied
I need to tell you the truth before I allow you to make a decision; I have not been honest with you up until this point.

I only do what I do
I have a certain way of handling situations and I will continue to do things my way.

Let's be honest, I watched you walk away
To be truthful, I saw you leave and I didn't try to stop you.

You went off to find, anything else, anything less
You left to search for something better, even if it was something that was of lesser value or importance.

Oh the Karma, I know it's coming for me
I am aware that consequences will follow my actions and I will face the repercussions of my choices.

Oh no harm done, except as far as the eyes can see
It may seem like everything is fine on the surface, but there are consequences that are not immediately visible.

The only issue for me, as cavalier as it seems
The only problem that concerns me, even if it seems like I don't care about it.

Is how you handle extremes, you never bother
The way you deal with extreme situations is something that bothers me because you do not seem to care.

Before I let you destroy, the very world I enjoy
Before I allow you to ruin the things that I love and enjoy, I need to intervene.

You gotta do what you do
You have to follow your own way of doing things.

I'm only honest, I'm only here to say, yeah
I am being truthful and straightforward with you; I am only saying what needs to be said.

You've been gone so long, everything else, is already less
You have been absent for a while, and everything else seems unimportant now that you're gone.

I'm a slave, I will beg
I feel like I am powerless and will do anything, even begging, to get what I want.

All I want is something better, something that is safe
My desire is to have something that is of higher quality and security.

You can say, you will stay
You can tell me that you will stick around.

But I know fucking better, you will never change
But I am aware that you are unlikely to actually change your ways.

You've been gone so long, everything else, is already less, I guess
Your absence has made everything else seem irrelevant or unimportant, I suppose.

On your own
You are left to fend for yourself.
