[Verse 1]
Take a perfect picture, I'll be in it with you
Smile into the lens cause the flash will make it look okay, okay
No, you wouldn't know the difference staring at the image
Says a million words but the truth ain't even in the frame, no way
[Pre-Chorus]
We can fool the ma**es, looking so happy
But baby, it's just a front
Cause when there are no cameras, no one's around us
Who's gonna touch us up?
[Chorus]
You can hide it, fight it, try and buy it
But that ain't you
We can twist it how we want it
But we can't fake the truth
Soften the lines, beautiful lie
We'll living proof that you can't air brush reality
No, you can't air brush reality
[Verse 2]
There's an image on the bedside, I don't recognise
Cause behind the smoke and mirrors, everything's a big dismay
From afar we look so pretty, isn't it a pity?
If people only knew what was wrong with me and you, they'd see we're blind
[Pre-Chorus]
We can fool the ma**es, looking so happy
But baby, it's just a front
Cause when there are no cameras, no one's around us
Who's gonna touch us up?
[Chorus]
You can hide it, fight it, try and buy it
But that ain't you
We can twist it how we want it
But we can't fake the truth
Soften the lines, beautiful lie
We'll living proof that you can't air brush reality
[Bridge]
Perfectly imperfect, we can never change the facts
I try to act more kinder but it's where in white and black
And what was just a moment, can we ever get it back?
No matter what happens we'll still have this photograph
[Chorus]
You can hide it, fight it, try and buy it
But that ain't you
We can twist it how we want it
But we can't fake the truth
Soften the lines, beautiful lie
We'll living proof that you can't air brush reality
