[Verse 1]
You say
“Yeah
I was at that party”
Leave out whose car you came home in
You swear
“I told you where I was”
Just cut the camera before the sin
You circle every ugly fact
Pretend the center isn’t there
You hand me pieces of the puzzle
Then act surprised I only stare

[Pre-Chorus]
You measure every single word
Like sugar on a shaky scale
Enough to say you “never lied”
Just not enough to tell the tale (yeah)

[Chorus]
Half truths
Double standards
Two scales
One hand on each side
You keep the halo in the headline
Hide the horns just out of the light
Half truths
Double standards
You’re counting favors I can’t see
If you get to speak in fractions
Then you only owe me half of honesty

[Verse 2]
You say
“I told you ’bout that message”
Forget the part you didn’t show
You swear
“I’m treating you the same”
But your rules bend wherever you go
You quote the promise
Not the context
You read the fine print just for you
You call it “fair” ‘cause you explained it
As long as I don’t get a turn too

[Pre-Chorus]
You say my anger’s overblown
Like I don’t know what silence means
You built a castle out of loopholes
Then call it proof you’re “coming clean”

[Chorus]
Half truths
Double standards
Two scales
One hand on each side
You keep the halo in the headline
Hide the horns just out of the light
Half truths
Double standards
You’re counting favors I can’t see
If you get to speak in fractions
Then you only owe me half of honesty

[Bridge]
So tell the story start to finish (hey)
Not just the frame that flatters you
‘Cause if your word is worth so little
I’d rather hear an honest wound
You say you “did exactly that”
I hear the part you never say
You’ll never break your precious rules
You just bend them ‘til they look straight

[Chorus]
Half truths
Double standards
Two scales
One hand on each side
You keep the halo in the headline
Hide the horns just out of the light
Half truths
Double standards
You’re counting favors I can’t see
If you get to live in fractions
Then you only ever give me
Half truths
Double standards
Twice the chances
Half the blame for you
If you’re only telling half the story
Don’t you dare call that the truth
