Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus

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

Tag

You see the darkness
And You love us the same
