Cry Pretty - Carrie Underwood

Written by：Carrie Underwood/Lori McKenna/Liz Rose/Hillary Lindsey

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

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 alone

Yeah it's all the same when you're looking in the mirror

A pinch or a 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 got to face that you can't cry pretty

Oh no you can't

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 got to face that you can't cry pretty

No you can't cry

No you can't cry

No no no no no no no

No no no no no no no

You can't cry

You can't cry pretty baby

Oh yeah

No you can't cry pretty
