Pretty Lies

Story Behind The Song

I threw a party while my parents were out of town when I was in high school and lied to cover it up...and many people got hurt

Song Description

Perfect song for a tv show where someone has been caught doing something that they should'nt have..or feeling guilty about having done something. My apology for doing something to deeply dissappoint or let down parents & boyfriend or friends. And at the same time decalring my love and the pain and suffering I feel with them not in my life . In the chorus: I'll give you just the truth, I'll give you all I've got to give, no more pretty lies, so you don't have to cry, I'll give you just the truth and then it's up to you....will you take me as I am?

Lyrics

I didn?t mean to be untrue
or hide the trouble I was in
Please hear me out this time
thought I could work it out this time And make you proud
No I didn?t mean to let you down
it was the last thing that I intended.
Please don?t hate me this time
I know it looks real bad this time but I need your love


I?ll give you just the truth
I?ll give you all I got to give
No more pretty lies
so you don?t have to cry
I?ll give you just the truth
then it?s up to you.
will you take me?.will you take me as I am?

On the street everyone I see is you
I can?t seem to get far enough away
to hide myself and my shame
tears burn my eyes with pain of missing you

I don?t wanna be in this world without your love
And I don?t wanna go on if you don?t believe in me
I don?t wanna stay here in the darkness all alone
Won?t you give me one more chance.
