Truth Be Told

Truth Be Told - Matthew West

Composed by：Matthew West/Andrew Jacob Pruis

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
