Carrie Underwood - Cry Pretty lyrics

[Carrie Underwood - Cry Pretty lyrics]

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

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

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
