Matthew West - Truth Be Told lyrics
[Matthew West - Truth Be Told lyrics]
Lie number one: You're supposed to
Have it all together
And when they ask how you're doing
just smile and tell them "Never better"
Lie number two: Everybody's life
Is perfect except yours
So keep your messes and your wounds and your
Secrets safe with you behind closed doors
But truth be told, the truth is rarely told
(No)
I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm
Fine, oh, I'm fine, hey I'm fine"
But, I'm not, I'm broken
And when it's out of control
I say "It's under control"
But, it's not and You know it
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it
When being honest is the only way to fix it
There's no failure, no fall
There's no sin You don't already know
So let the truth be told
There's a sign on the door
Says, "Come as you are, " but I doubt it
'Cause if we lived like that was true
Every Sunday morning pew would be crowded
But didn't You say church should
Look more like a hospital?
A safe place for the sick
The sinner and the scarred
And the prodigals like me
Well truth be told, the truth is rarely told
Oh, am I the only one who says
"I'm fine, yeah, I'm fine, oh, I'm fine
Hey I'm fine"
But, I'm not, I'm broken (Broken)
And when it's out of control
I say "It's under control"
But, it's not and You know it (Know it)
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it
When being honest is the only way to fix it
There's no failure, no fall
There's no sin You don't already know
So let the truth be told
Can I really stand here unashamed
Knowing that Your love for me won't change?
Oh God, if that's really true
Then let the truth be told
I say, "I'm fine, yeah, I'm
Fine, oh, I'm fine, hey I'm fine"
But, I'm not, I'm broken (Broken)
And when it's out of control
I say it's under control
But, it's not and You know it (Know it)
I don't know why it's so hard to admit it
When being honest is the only way to fix it
There's no failure, no fall
There's no sin You don't already know
Yeah, I know there's no failure, no fall
There's no sin You don't already know
So let the truth be told
Have it all together
And when they ask how you're doing
just smile and tell them "Never better"

So keep your messes and your wounds and your
Secrets safe with you behind closed doors
