cry pretty

i'm sorry

but i'm just a girl not usually the kind to show my heart to the world

i'm pretty good at keeping it together

i hold my composure for worse or for better

so i apologize

if you don't like what you see

but sometimes my emotions get the best of me

and falling apart is as human as it gets

you can't hide it

you can't fight what the truth is

you can pretty lie

and say it's okay

you can pretty smile

and just walk away

pretty much fake your way through anything

but you can't cry pretty

oh no

you can't dress it up in lace or rhinestones

don't matter if you're in a crowd or home all alone

yeah

it's all the same when you're looking in the mirror

a picture of pain

so let it flow like a river

you can pretty lie

and say it's okay

you can pretty smile

and just walk away

pretty much fake your way through anything

but you can't cry pretty

you can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks

when all your mascara is going to waste

when things get ugly you just gotta face

that you can't cry pretty

oh

no

you can't. you can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks

when all your mascara is going to waste

when things get ugly you just gotta face

that you can't cry pretty. yeah yeah yeah yeah

no

you can't cry

no

you can't cry

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. no no no. you can't cry

you can't cry pretty

baby

oh yeah

no

you can't cry pretty.
