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
But the truth is
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Oh no, you can't dress it up in lace or rhinestones
Don't matter if you're in a crowd or home alone
Yeah, it's all the same when you're looking in the mirror
A pinch or a pain
So let it flow like a river
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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 got to face 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 got to face you can't cry pretty
