Alena - Alex G

You can package up a goodbye

You can tie a bow to a knot

To make it pretty

Put mascara under my eyes

Doesn’t mean that I haven’t cried

And I’m not kidding

Fake it long enough

'Till my sadness wears off

I don’t need 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

Momma told me how to cry

When she cried the river dry

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 in 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

(Come out of hiding, and when you find me)

Get used to it I won’t hide

It’s alright if I’m sad sometimes

(Come out of hiding, and when you find me)

This breaking is beautifully human

I’m not gonna fake I’m fine

(Come out of hiding, and when you find me, I will be breaking)

I’ll dance in my own time

(But we won’t break alone)

This breaking is beautifully human

Come out of hiding

And when you find me

I may be broken

But we won’t break alone
