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 2 everybody's life is perfect except yours So keep your messes and your wounds And your secrets safe with you behind closed doors

Truth be told The truth is rarely told, now

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 it was true, every Sunday morning pew would be crowded

But didn't you say the church should look more like a hospital A safe place for the sick, the sinner and the scarred and the prodigals Like me Can I really stand here unashamed Knowin' that Your love for me won't change? Oh God if that's really true Then let the truth be told
