Pretty Lies Ugly Truths

Verse 1

Paint the words soft

Wrap them up tight in gold

Beneath the heavy shine

The same old story gets told

Pretty lies sound easy

Feel like a cure in the vein

But ugly truths make you sure

Through all the hidden strain

Chorus

Pretty lies ugly truths

One feels like comfort one is the proof

Lies are sweet wrapped in grace

Truth is rough but shows the face

Pretty lies ugly truths

One builds illusions the other breaks loose

Rather face the pain of what is real

Than live in a lie I feel

Verse 2

Smiles on the surface

Words full of fake care

Behind the closed doors

Nobody is really there

Lie says you are fine

The truth screams it has been too long

Delaying the trial

Thinking that you were strong

Chorus

Pretty lies ugly truths

One feels like comfort one is the proof

Lies are sweet wrapped in grace

Truth is rough but shows the face

Pretty lies ugly truths

One builds illusions the other breaks loose

Rather face the pain of what is real

Than live in a lie I feel

Bridge

No more hiding

Painting the gray to look blue

The mask is sliding

Showing exactly who are you

Hard to accept

It hurts today

Tear it away

Finally free

Chorus

Pretty lies ugly truths

One feels like comfort one is the proof

Lies are sweet wrapped in grace

Truth is rough but shows the face

Pretty lies ugly truths

One builds illusions the other breaks loose

Rather face the pain of what is real

Than live in a lie I feel
