Lyrics
Ugly Truth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You hide your eyes
But the ugly truth
Just loves to give it away
You gave yourself
If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
You share but money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away
I painted my eyes
Ugly isn't what I want to see
I painted my mind
Ugly isn't what I want to be
I don't mind but the truth
Don't look that good on me
Throw it away
I don't think I really
Understand you
And I can't see why
I'd ever want to
And even if it isn't mine to say
I'll say it anyway
It's ugly
If you were mine to give
I might throw it away
But money can't give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away
