Mayday Parade - Let's Be Honest Lyrics






This is a warning
I can feel it in the air
I know I shouldn't be here
I should be sleeping in my bed
I've got a bad, bad feeling
I've been running my mouth
The more I speak
The more your clothes come off
I've made my bed
But I don't belong here

I'm a sinking ship
I'm that cut that won't heal right
Let's be honest
You might think I'm good as gold
I'm that fire that warms your soul
I will let you down

Another warning
Another sad day will pass me by
No, I never told you
You were the last thing on my mind
I've got a bad feeling it's meant to be
It's like you knew
I'm sorry for the way that I gave up on you

Best friends stick together
Just like best friends always do
I'd rather cross my heart
Than make this right
I swear these things to you

I'm a sinking ship
I'm that cut that won't heal up
Let's be honest
You might think I'm good as gold
I'm that fire that warms your soul
I will let you down

And I bet, I bet you believe every lie I've ever told
And I swear, I swear we can make it if we just forget everything that we know
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! There goes giving your heart away
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! There goes giving your heart away
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! There goes giving your heart
Your heart, your heart!

I'm a sinking ship
I'm that cut that won't heal right
Let's be honest
You might think I'm good as gold
I'm that fire that warms your soul
I will let you down

You down! [x3]

Mayday Parade Let's Be Honest Comments
  1. J.... ....

    I miss this sound. Please come back for album 7.

  2. S.... J....

    On repeat for a thousand years

  3. T.... J....

    1SG rank is upside down hahaha

  4. x.... N....

    I love everything about this song 🖤

  5. M.... ....

    This has to be Mayday Parade’s best song and music video. Something about the song feels just like them, it’s melancholy and pessimistic

  6. T.... C....

    I love the passion and the screams!

  7. s.... k....

    sooo underrated!! one of their best, if you ask me...

  8. K.... ....

    This is criminally underveiwed!

  9. _.... x....

    “best friends stick together, just like best friends always do”
    💕

  10. T.... G....

    Amazing. Fucking. Song.

  11. F.... W....

    whenever I see this was uploaded on my birthday, I get happy. It was the best birthday present ever.

  12. C.... ....

    What an amazing change in style. Still sounds like mayday, but they've matured and changed enough to still be interesting and fresh. I'm a huge fan of their first three albums, and I'm just a big a fan of this one. Kind of reminds me of Brand New, who is also amazing.

  13. g.... d....

    Haven't I already heard this song? Oh yeah... The Used - Empty With You

  14. T.... m....

    I got this stuck in my head. But damn I love it

  15. J.... j....

    I love this.

  16. E.... H....

    MAYDAY MAYDAY

  17. s.... o....

    this music video is AWESOME 😍

  18. E.... ....

    Wtf even is this video

  19. C.... I....

    What's this song about ?

    C.... I....

    Not sure about the song lyrics, but the video... The characters are in a cheesy show and the captain is growing disgruntled with the show and wants to get out of it. That's why he quits reacting to the shaking submarine and explodes in the dressing room. At the end, he ends up being replaced by the janitor to a younger actor.

    C.... I....

    Sounds like a struggle with depression. He's a mess that'll ruin you, hell break you and leave you hurting. You see the good but he knows better. He's warning you he's no good and he crashes a lot, hes just there to disappoint. Ya he hopes they work out in the long run, but he's so messed up he's scared. Make sense?

  20. S.... ....

    Obsessed 😍

  21. O.... P....

  22. J.... I....

    I freaking love this song and all of "Black Lines" but I can't help but feel that Jason would've thrived on the heavier music. Jake did an amazing job tho!!!

  23. m.... m....

    they need to make more songs like this something that gets me pumped up

  24. M.... S....

    when it's actually good music it doesn't get as many views as a singer who can't even sing and just strips in a music video

  25. T.... ....

    never really got into black lines as much as their other albums. sigh

  26. m.... s....

    DAMN 3:10-3:14 * - *

  27. M.... L....

    can anyone explain the video? lol

    M.... L....

    The characters are in a cheesy show and the captain is growing disgruntled with the show and wants to get out of it. That's why he quits reacting to the shaking submarine and explodes in the dressing room. At the end, he ends up being replaced by the janitor to a younger actor.

  28. F.... A....

    Rock on!

  29. s.... ....

    Your guys decision to go heavier was a great move. Don't let anyone tell you any different. It's been fun to listen to

  30. G.... I....

    clipe louco kk

  31. L.... H....

    Feelings towards the song aside, I think nobody has a clue what the actual hell is going on in the video.

    L.... H....

    The characters are in a cheesy show and the captain is growing disgruntled with the show and wants to get out of it. That's why he quits reacting to the shaking submarine and explodes in the dressing room. At the end, he ends up being replaced by the janitor to a younger actor.

  32. I.... ....

    This sounds more like Armor for Sleep or Anberlin than it does "true" Mayday Parade. I like it, though, it's a nice stylistic change.

  33. T.... G....

    How has this band survived for so long after Jason left?

    T.... G....

    Of course it survived, why wouldn't it? Mayday Parade without Jason is still Mayday Parade, but Jason without Mayday Parade is just Jason... I never understood why people acted like Jason is some kind of god and was the only reason why Mayday Parade was worth a listen.
    They are pretty damn good the way they are right know, I don't think they lack "Jason" at all :)

  34. E.... D....

    they were amazing at warped like usual

  35. F.... I....

    As a mayday parade fan for about 5 years now I can only say their music has changed and my music taste has also changed through the years. therefore , I am enjoying this music and I am happy for their accomplishments. This band has always been there for me and I will always love every last breath they put into their music 💙

  36. s.... s....

    WELL i love the song but...can i ask what in the literal heck just happened in this music video??

    s.... s....

    The characters are in a cheesy show and the captain is growing disgruntled with the show and wants to get out of it. That's why he quits reacting to the shaking submarine and explodes in the dressing room. At the end, he ends up being replaced by the janitor to a younger actor.

  37. B.... N....

    Plz do a collab with ptv

  38. A.... S....

    Mayday Parade went from making music && selling their albums in the parking lots at Warped Tour, to actually performing on stages at Warped Tour. Damn. Full circle. Glad these boys made it out of Tallahassee 👍

  39. b.... n....

    new mayday reminds me of a rumbling train or a storm. so sexy

  40. b.... n....

    you guys are prime

  41. b.... n....

    falling in love feels like FUMBLING OVER NOTHING

  42. U.... A....

  48. A.... ....

    1:11 I just realized why they were pulling her like that.

  49. S.... G....

    This was so much better than the first 5 seconds made me think it would be.

  50. I.... ....

    Holy crap I haven't listened to these guys since "A lesson in romantics". They are so much heavier now ;o I'm into it tho.

  51. S.... ....

    Derek's scream at 3:12 gave me goosebumps instantly. Love this song, band, and their new direction so much

  52. P.... ....

    Can't wait to see you here in the Philippines! 2months more!! Wahhhhh!

    Unicorns

  57. S.... Y....

    OMG YES

  58. a.... ....

    Well this sounds mature. Waiting for it (:

  59. H.... G....

    Kind of want to know what the video is portraying. The meaning behind the captain and the fake mustache.

  60. J.... ....

    I really really love the rough singing

  61. F.... E....

    let's be honest this is pretty great

  62. P.... w....

    I really love this!! :) Love the 1970's style too! ^_^ Even though the guys of MP weren't in this video, I still enjoyed it! :) Can't wait to see them at Warped!! :)

  63. D.... M....

    Even if this is not my fav record, MP never dissapoint me. I love those guys so much

  64. N.... H....

    I feel a strong Muse vibe in this one.

  65. k.... ....

    How does this video only have 30k?

  66. S.... K....

    I love this song so much ❤❤

  67. b.... ....

    i dont like the fact that some bands are starting to have this 70's vibe to their music and their videos

  68. W.... E....

    First tøp then fob after that bmth now maydayparade WHAT

  69. G.... D....

    i didn't understand a single thing that just happened in the video but I love the song 😂

    G.... D....

    I don't think anyone could understand this Lol

    G.... D....

    +Forgetful End really? It's not that hard to follow... The captain lost his job to the janitor

  70. F.... ....

    Great song!!!!!!

  71. B.... K....

    WHAAAAAAT

  72. J.... ....

    How can you jabronies not like this?

  73. P.... I....

    Okay, we get it, Derek. You can scream. Time to go heavy and appeal to a different crowd as if what you were doing wasn't right to begin with. Stop dragging it out lol.

  74. M.... J....

    Always top on my list! \m/

  75. K.... M....

    I just love how underrated this band is

  76. d.... s....

    This song is so good, my favorite on the album and by far the best start for revealing their new sound. Been a mayday fan since the beginning, love them with all of my heart but this music video was so dumb. Like, so dumb.

  77. E.... A....

    i love you guys

  78. D.... O....

    my first MDP song....

    D.... O....

    its okay
    ....pretty calming...too calm😒😄

  79. C.... W....

    whats with the vox? let the people who produced them ten years ago do it again cuz this isnt up to par

    C.... W....

    Valdosta EP fam

    C.... W....

    Every band needs that album they get to experiment on. Be nice lol

    C.... W....

    I definitely get where you're coming from, but isn't that the mark of a good band? Changing, and, Idk what word I'm looking for but maybe evolving will do. Like, growing with their fans in a sense. Changing to keep up with the times. I love their past material, but I also love seeing that they're trying out different things! Not offended if you don't agree, that's just how I view it!

    C.... W....

    Nah im saying the overall sound production. Doesnt sound good

  80. M.... C....

    They ripped off danger 5! look up danger 5 before you haters give me tha thumb down

  81. G.... J....

    Mayday Mayday!!

  82. A.... L....

    I love this song and this album❤

  83. B.... ....

    Yes yes yes yes. I love this new style.

  84. L.... J....

    Yo if my favorite bands keep dropping these bomb songs I'm gonna pass out👏🤘

  85. m.... z....

    That guitar riff though out the song is pretty cool, I like the new sound. Very rock in roll.

  86. D.... ....

    Don't get how people say this doesn't sound like MDP... It may not be exactly the same sound as before, but I can still hear Mayday Parade in these songs. Black Lines is a pretty decent album.

  87. V.... G....

    not sure wat teh ful dis was lmao I like it

    V.... G....

    The characters are in a cheesy show and the captain is growing disgruntled with the show and wants to get out of it. That's why he quits reacting to the shaking submarine and explodes in the dressing room. At the end, he ends up being replaced by the janitor.

  88. R.... C....

    Eh didn't expect this to be a single, should've chosen a better one from the album

  89. s.... ....

    I like the rougher singing in this. They need to do more of that.

    s.... ....

    That's what I'm saying!

  90. D.... T....

    WHAT'S HAPPENING SO MANY BANDS PUBLISHING NEW MUSIC OMG I THINK I'M GONNA FAINT AODHSJSVSHAOANDAOSDJA THIS IS SO AWESOME 😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤
