Putting Up
Masked Truths: Battling Deception in Relationships
Lyrics
Can you keep up?
Challenging someone's ability to match their actions with their words.
With the lies that you spout
Unable to control the lies being told.
Can't keep your mouth shut
Unable to keep quiet about the words spoken.
With the words that come out
The inability to filter the spoken words.
Say you're this and that and someone
Describing oneself in a way that contrasts with reality.
That's a story of a no one
Identifying oneself as insignificant or unimportant.
Putting up to hide what's broken
Pretending or acting to conceal one's flaws or issues.
Things are better left unspoken
Suggesting some things are better left unsaid.
How am I supposed to trust again
Questioning how to regain trust due to widespread dishonesty.
When everybody seems fake?
Expressing a lack of authenticity in people.
Putting up to hide what's broken
Continuing to pretend to cover up personal flaws.
To dodge a fate I can't take
Avoiding an undesirable destiny or outcome.
La-da-da-da-da-da
Non-lexical vocalization indicating frustration or confusion.
Where does it end?
Questioning the extent or duration of the situation.
It's like you're not even real
Perceiving someone's behavior as unreal or artificial.
Playing pretend
Engaging in make-believe or acting in a false manner.
And you don't care how I feel
Showing disregard for another's emotions.
Do you have a heart inside you?
Questioning if there is any empathy or compassion.
There's no way - I've seen it all through
Expressing skepticism due to past experiences.
You're just one who lies and uses
Labeling someone as deceitful and manipulative.
Drained me out til' I was useless
Having depleted someone's value or worth.
How am I supposed to trust again
Reiterating the challenge of trusting due to pervasive dishonesty.
When everybody seems fake?
Highlighting the prevalent lack of genuineness in people.
Putting up to hide what's broken
Continuing to pretend to cover up personal flaws.
To dodge a fate I can't take
Avoiding an undesirable destiny or outcome.
La-da-da-da-da-da
Repeated non-lexical vocalization indicating frustration or confusion.
