The Ugly Truth Lyrics by Matthew Sweet
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
You don't want to die
But the living gets you down
We want you to act like nothing's wrong
Even though you heard a sound

And then you're ripped right out of the ground
Like a fuckin' root
No you simply cannot hide
From the ugly truth

You feel you must be wise
'Cause you could find yourself
Among a sea of smiling faces
It's a way, I've never felt

Yeah, it kinda flies right into my face
And out the other side
Oh, the ugly truth leaves nothing to decide
The ugly truth makes everyone of us a liar, ugly

If you can dig a big enough hole to bury all your youth
No, you still won't be prepared for the ugly truth
No, you'll never be prepared for the ugly truth
You simply cannot hide from the ugly truth, ugly
You don't want to die   But the living gets you down   We want you to act like nothing's wrong   Even though you heard a sound      And then you're ripped right out of the ground   Like a fuckin' root   No you simply cannot hide   From the ugly truth      You feel you must be wise   'Cause you could find yourself   Among a sea of smiling faces   It's a way, I've never felt      Yeah, it kinda flies right into my face   And out the other side   Oh, the ugly truth leaves nothing to decide   The ugly truth makes everyone of us a liar, ugly      If you can dig a big enough hole to bury all your youth   No, you still won't be prepared for the ugly truth   No, you'll never be prepared for the ugly truth   You simply cannot hide from the ugly truth, ugly
