We lie to our lovers, we lie to our friends Painting our pictures and playing pretend We keep our secrets all to ourselves Stand at 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 And 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 We hide our weakness, we hide our sin We feel the guilt but we keep it all in We are just children, small and afraid Your truth will unmask us and love us the same And nobody knows us and nobody will We all keep pretending we're better, but still We keep our secrets to cover our shame And You see the darkness and You love us the same You see the darkness and love us the same You see the darkness and You love us the same
