You can package up a goodbye
You can tie a bow to a knot
To make it pretty
Put mascara under my eyes
Doesn't mean that I haven't cried
And I'm not kidding
Fake it long enough
'Till my sadness wears off
I don't need to make much noise
I can change the tone of my voice
To make it happy

Get used to it I won't hide
It's alright if I'm sad sometimes
This breaking is beautifully human
I'm not gonna fake I'm fine
I'll dance in my own time
This breaking is beautifully human
Stop saying that I gotta
Smile

Momma told me how to cry
When she cried the river dry
I'm still hurting
Hear them say it every time
Just be quiet, darling you're fine
I'm done hearing
Can you hear me now?
All my manners worn off
I'm not being very polite
Take a closer look in my eyes
Now I'm living

Get used to it I won't hide
It's alright if I'm sad sometimes
This breaking is beautifully human
I'm not gonna fake I'm fine
I'll dance in my own time
This breaking is beautifully human
Stop saying that I gotta
Smile

Come out of hiding
And when you find me
I'll be realer
Than you've ever known
Come out of hiding
And when you find me
I may be broken
But we won't break alone

Come out of hiding
And when you find me
I will be realer
Than you've ever known
Come out of hiding
And when you find me
I may be broken
But we won't break alone

Get used to it I won't hide
It's alright if I'm sad sometimes
This breaking is beautifully human
I'm not gonna fake I'm fine
I'll dance in my own time
This breaking is beautifully human
Come out of hiding
And when you find me
I may be broken
But we won't break alone
