About

“If I’m Being Honest” first debuted on dodie’s ‘Spring Tour’ in early 2018. In an Instagram live she explained that the song was about “having a crush in, like, a day, and having way too much (of an) expectation about it.”

If I’m Being Honest Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was told this is where I would start loving myself
Flirting's delicious, proved to be beneficial for mental health
All of my best bits pulled forward, collected, displayed
Sadly, I just think that I was disgusting today

[Pre-Chorus]
You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon
I'm left a stuttering teen
How did I get here?
It's all so quick, and I feel sick
Red pushing down on the green

[Chorus]
Could you love this?
Will this one be right?
Well, if I'm being honest
I'm hoping it might
Could you love this?
Did you plan to fall?
Well, if I'm being honest
Oh, I bet it's not that at all

[Verse 2]
Hope has a cost, keeping all fingers crossed and held tight
But I look idiotic with my limbs all knotted, it don't feel right
Truly you've shaken me, and I think you like how I plead
But I have a hunch that that's all you wanted from me

[Pre-Chorus]
You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon
Holding my breath makes me choke
How did I get here?
It's all so quick, and I feel sick
I'm used to being a joke

[Chorus]
Could you love this?
Will this one be right?
Well, if I'm being honest
I'm hoping it might
Could you love this?
Did you plan to fall?
Well, if I'm being honest
Oh, I bet it's not that at all

[Bridge]
All, all, all, all

[Chorus]
Could you love this?
Will this one be right?
Well, if I'm being honest
I'm hoping it might
Could you love this?
Did you plan to fall?
Well, if I'm being honest
If I'm being honest
Well, if I'm being honest
Oh, I bet it's not that at all
