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 fallin' apart is as human as it gets

You can't hide it

You can't fight for it

But 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 lookin' 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 goin' to waste

When things get ugly

You just got to face that you can't cry pretty

Oh, no, you can't

Oh, yeah

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

When all your mascara is goin' to waste

When things get ugly

You just got to face that you can't cry pretty

Yeah, 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, no, no, no, no, no, woah

You can't cry

You can't cry pretty, oh, yeah

No

No you can't cry pretty, yeah
