You can package up a goodbye
You can tie a bow to a knife
To make it pretty
Paint mascara under my eyes
Doesn't mean that I haven't cried
And I'm not kidding

Think you know enough
Till my sadness wears off
I don't mean 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

Mama taught me how to cry
Then she cried the river dry
And 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 at 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 (and when you find me)
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 (and when you find me)
This breaking is beautifully human (I will be realer)
Stop saying that I gotta smile (then you've ever known)

Come out of hiding
And when you find me
I may be broken
But we won't break alone
