Truth Be Told

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

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

But 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
