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

Ooh, yeah

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, no, no, no, no, no, woo

You can't cry

You can't cry pretty, baby

Oh yeah, woo, woo

No, you can't cry pretty, yeah
