Pretty Fences

Here's one of me Smiling in a sunset And there's me lying on the beach Here's everybody At the party And one of me Looking nothing like me It's all just pretty fences Keeping up a pretty distance Between the real you The real me What you get And what you see We paint 'em all pretty on the street side A picture's worth a thousand lies I wonder if we'd still be friends if We burned these pretty fences What you don't see Is me, mascara running Lying on the floor with my heart broke Or the one when I'm drunk on Sunday morning The ugly truth But how would you know? It's all just pretty fences Keeping up a pretty distance Between the real you The real me What you get And what you see We paint 'em all pretty on the street side A picture's worth a thousand lies I wonder if we'd still be friends if We burned these pretty fences Tinted lenses All of these pretty pretenses Defenses, defense us All of these pretty, pretty fences Oh yeah, oh-oh Why do we care more 'bout being liked Than being like Who we really are? It's all just pretty fences Keeping up a pretty distance Between the real you The real me What you get And what you see We paint 'em all pretty on the street side A picture's worth a thousand lies (a picture's worth a thousand lies) I wonder if we'd still be friends if We burned these pretty fences (we burned these pretty fences) Tinted lenses All of these pretty pretenses Defenses, defense us (would you love me, would you like me) All of these pretty pretty fences (if we weren't these fences?)
