Im unemployed See That wasnt so hard It was
Practice in the mirror Im between jobs
Nah too soft sounds like a sob
Taking a break nah thats a spa
Finding myself Ive gone too far
Just say it two words thats it
Im unemployed but my tongue wont sit
Chest gets tight jaw locks up
Like the word itself is sharp enough
Two words weigh more than a thousand lies
Heavier each time I swallow my pride
Honest is hard when the room goes still
Two little words and the air gets chill
Rather wear a hundred masks a day
Than watch their eyes slowly drift away
Group chat buzzing Friday plans
Cant make it budgets tight my hands
Type delete retype again
Working late tonight I send
Christmas dinner cousin brags
New promotion shopping bags
How about you the table turns
Good real good and my stomach burns
Lyings easy when the truth feels broke
Honest chokes before its spoke
Honest is hard when youve lied so long
Every truth sounds like a different song
Want to say it mouth stays shut
Two little words stuck in my gut
What if I just said it out loud
Would they leave or would they stick around
Tired of rehearsing who Im not
Maybe broke is all I really got
Honest is hard but the mask is worse
Every lie adds another verse
Maybe tomorrow Ill find the word
The simplest truth Ive never heard
Im unemployed See That wasnt so hard It was
