Lyric

No Pretending

Tera Kira

Why lie?

The truth sometimes burns

But I can't pretend

You read me like an open book

I wish I could put a coat of varnish

Over my sharp words

But once you scratch a little, they shine

It’s the truth that starts to show

I can't keep in what I feel

It spills over, it screams, it floods me

I do good... or bad... often

But never pretending, that's a different world!

They tell me, "Calm down, hold it in,"

But once it’s out, it’s too late

A verbal avalanche comes from my voice

And everything pours out, no disguise, no filter

They say, "Turn your tongue seven times,"

Before you cause a crisis!

But I’m the gust of wind, the spark

Burning dreams, breaking truces

I don’t mean to, it’s stronger than me

I say it all, even when I shouldn’t

Forgive me if my truth hurts

It comes from the heart, no politeness

I wish for gray areas with no wounds

But for me, it’s all black and white

It’s yes or no, no lies, no pretending

When asked, I spill it all, everything I’ve kept

It’s not hate, it’s not a war

It’s just my way of being sincere

I try to weigh my words, sometimes

But the axe falls, always straight

It’s not iron, it’s not cold

It’s just… me, often clumsy

They say, "Turn your tongue seven times,"

Before you cause a crisis!

But I’m the gust of wind, the spark

Burning dreams, breaking truces

I don’t mean to, it’s stronger than me

I say it all, even when I shouldn’t

Forgive me if my truth hurts

It comes from the heart, no politeness

No malice, no calculation

Just fragments, a bit too raw

If I make you cry, it’s not intended

I just… want to be honest!

They say, "Turn your tongue seven times,"

But I’m made of fireworks

If my words leave scars

It’s because I couldn’t soften them

I don’t mean to, it’s stronger than me

I say it all, even when I shouldn’t

Forgive my clumsiness

My truth… is my tenderness

I don’t lie

I overflow!
