Lyrics
Early morning, still have tired eyes
Five second glance, so much to criticize
There’s a sadness wondering what I need to hide
Muster a smile as I turn off the lights
We’ve all been there before, tryin’ to face another day
We’re always on display
I wonder why I fail the test
Why they’re so perfect, and I am such a mess?
Before you post it, fix it, make sure it’s the best
Show what you want while hiding all the rest
When did a normal day become so absurd?
And will I ever learn?
The way I see the world today
Is all just smoke and mirrors
Afraid to pull the curtain back, what it might reveal
All the decoys, tabloids, so much noise
I just want to know Truth
Now I see the life You have for me
It should be soaring, a flowing melody,
Not all failures, missteps, insecurities
And when I fall down, You raise me from my knees
No one wants to buy the guitar with broken strings
Still You’ve chosen me
The way I see the world today
Is all just smoke and mirrors
Afraid to pull the curtain back, what it might reveal
All the decoys, tabloids, so much noise
I just want to know Truth
The way I see the world today
Is all just smoke and mirrors
Afraid to pull the curtain back, what it might reveal
The way I see my world today
Is far from what you wanted
I want to see it through Your eyes
The beauty You intend
All the decoys, tabloids, so much noise
I just want to know You
