We lie to our lovers We lie to our friends Painting our pictures And playing pretend We keep our secrets All to ourselves Stand a distance so no one can tell And nobody knows us and nobody will We all keep pretending we're better but still We keep our secrets to cover our shame You see the darkness and you love us the same ♪ We run from our troubles We run from our pain Gather the dirt up and sweep it away We put our mask on, pretending by faith And carry our secrets with us to the grave And nobody knows us and nobody will We all keep pretending, we're better but still We keep our secrets to cover our shame But you see the darkness and you love us the same
Yeah, yeah ♪ We hide our weakness, we hide our sins We feel the guilt but keep it away We are just children, small and afraid Your truth will unmask us and love us the same And nobody knows us and nobody will All keep pretending we're better but still We keep our secrets to cover our shame You see the darkness and you love us the same You see the darkness and love us the same You'll see the darkness and you love us the same
