That is not an idiom, but something intended literally. If you break the law, offend someone, or harm another person, the best thing overall is usually to confess. Some wrongly think admitting to your mistakes is a form of weakness, but it is really a type of strength. So if you said or did anything wrong, it is often best to just admit to what you said or did, make restitution if possible, and never say or do whatever again.
