Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said
“trust me”
With your hand on my heart
Same old halo
Cheap from the corner mart
Every promise
Came with a fine-print scar
Guess the truth is a costume
And we are what we are
[Chorus]
Truth is a lie
When it’s dressed up pretty
Paint on the cracks
Of a dead-end city
Say what you want
But it falls apart
Truth is a lie
And we are what we are
We are what we are (hey)
We are what we are
[Verse 2]
You change stories
Like you’re changing your shirts
Swear it’s honest
While you edit the dirt
I stop asking
Why the lines move so far
I just circle my own name
Yeah
I am what I am
[Chorus]
Truth is a lie
When it’s dressed up pretty
Paint on the cracks
Of a dead-end city
Say what you want
But it falls apart
Truth is a lie
And we are what we are
We are what we are (oh)
We are what we are
[Bridge]
Take off the halo
Drop the script to the floor
If this is all we get
I’m not hiding anymore
No more perfect
No more borrowed stars
Just these crooked hands shaking
And we are what we are
[Chorus]
Truth is a lie
When it’s dressed up pretty
Paint on the cracks
Of a dead-end city
Say what you want
But it falls apart
Truth is a lie
And we are what we are
We are what we are
We are what we are
