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 keepin' 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
 
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
It 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
 
Oh no, you can’t dress it up in lace or rhinestones
It 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
 
🎶Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light somewhere I can't go?
As I walk this world alone🎶
 
🎶Trying to get to the bottom
Trying to get to your heart
But I don't, but I don't, but I don't know where to start
At the bottom, but I've been kept in the dark
And I don't, I don't know where to start
No matter what I find
I'll never leave your side
Even at the bottom
I'm trying to get to the bottom
Tell me is it something that I said
That made you turn the other way in bed, in this bed
You've been whispering words under your breath
Wish I knew the thoughts inside your head, in your head
You're distant when you're hungry
Smile when you're sad
I can read it on your body
When you're mad and you don't wanna talk it over
But this just isn't that
I'm trying to get to the bottom🎶
 
🎶
Maybe the sky's falling down around the babies
Maybe the world is gonna spin out of control
I don't care anymore

What if I quit today working for the man
And said I've had enough, well, maybe I can
('Cause it's all gonna end anyway)
Tell me, doctor, what's the cure for the wicked man's blues?
🎶
