Lyrics

Lie number 1
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 2
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

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 prodigal 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
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

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
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
Yeah, I know

There's no failure, no fall
There's no sin you don't already know
So let the truth be told
