If I told our story out loud,  it would be the truth                                                            ­                                           If  I  broke  down and  cried, there would be proof                                                            ­                  If  I  hadn't  chosen  to  hide , hadn't  swallowed  my pride                                                            ­                             I've  kept  all  my  pain inside, repeated your  alibis                                                     ­                 No  one  really  has  ever known                                                            ­             I' m  living  in a  **** show                                                             ­   All  of  the  secrets and all of your lies                                                             ­      are  killing  me  quietly  from  the inside                                                           ­ Smiling, make-up  carefully applied                                                          ­ hiding  the bruises that you've supplied                                                         ­ Perfect life, perfect wife, what a **** lie                                                              ­                       I  am  hiding  the  nightmare  that is my life                                                             ­                                                    Saying  the words out loud  shines light on the truth                                                            ­                                          exposes  the ugliness that came from loving you
