Halfway Honest
by Evechon Music · Alt-Pop
Some people never lie to you — they just leave the heaviest parts out. "Halfway Honest" lives inside those 2 a.m. half-truths, aching for someone close enough to touch but never close enough to stay.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You never say you’re staying
You never say you’re gone
You leave enough unanswered
To keep me holding on
You tell me where you’ve been
But not who took you there
You give me every detail
Except the one I care about
Pre-Chorus
You don’t have to lie
You just leave things out
Then let me fill the silence
With the benefit of doubt
Chorus
You’re halfway honest
Halfway mine
Close enough to touch me
Never close enough to try
Halfway honest
All the time
You give me just enough truth
To make the rest sound right
I don’t need a promise
I just need to know
Are you really here
Or halfway out the door?
Verse 2
You say that you still love me
Then ask me not to push
You want the room to miss me
But never want it full
You keep your coat beside you
Even when you spend the night
Like every conversation
Could be the one that makes you drive
Pre-Chorus
You don’t have to lie
You just leave things out
Then let me fill the silence
With the benefit of doubt
Chorus
You’re halfway honest
Halfway mine
Close enough to touch me
Never close enough to try
Halfway honest
All the time
You give me just enough truth
To make the rest sound right
I don’t need a promise
I just need to know
Are you really here
Or halfway out the door?
Bridge
I could take the ending
I could take the blame
I could take the truth
If you would say it plain
What I can’t keep doing
Is living in between
Where nothing is a lie
And nothing’s what it seems
Final Chorus
You’re halfway honest
Halfway mine
Close enough to touch me
Never close enough to try
Halfway honest
All the time
You give me just enough truth
To make the rest sound right
I don’t need a promise
I just need to know
Are you really here
Or halfway out the door?
Outro
Halfway honest
Halfway gone
