Keep It Cute

[Verse 1] I got a folder full of truth With some dirt under the nails I could hand you the whole thing Watch it rattle off the rails I could say what really happened I could point at every bruise But the room gets small and crowded When the cold facts cut right through [Pre-Chorus] So I bite my tongue And I smile real wide You want the easy version You want the soft disguise [Chorus] Keep it cute, keep it cute Don't scare the little minds Keep it cute, keep it cute Wrap the hurt in neon lines Keep it cute, keep it cute Let the sharp stuff stay behind I got monsters in my notebook But tonight I make 'em kind [Verse 2] There's a crack in every poster There's a scream behind the prize There's a lot of dirty answers In the corners of the eyes I could drag the whole room under With the weight of what I've seen But the story sells better When it sparkles and it gleams [Pre-Chorus] So I tuck the teeth away And I soften up the blow You want the cartoon version You want the sugar glow [Chorus] Keep it cute, keep it cute Don't scare the little minds Keep it cute, keep it cute Wrap the hurt in neon lines Keep it cute, keep it cute Let the sharp stuff stay behind I got monsters in my notebook But tonight I make 'em kind [Bridge] Maybe that's the trick Maybe that's the game Put a bow on the fracture Give the pain a pretty name I still know what's under it I still feel it in my chest But if I say it too direct You won't hear the rest [Final Chorus] Keep it cute, keep it cute Don't scare the little minds Keep it cute, keep it cute Wrap the hurt in neon lines Keep it cute, keep it cute Let the sharp stuff stay behind I got monsters in my notebook But tonight I make 'em kind [Outro] Cute enough to sing along Sharp enough to know I can dress up all the truth But I never let it go
