  • 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 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 Writer/s: Carrie Underwood, Hillary Lindsey, Liz Rose, Lori McKenna
