The amazing country star, Carrie Underwood, is finally back after months of being in the dark. Not only did she make a bang coming back by delivering an emotional performance at the ACM awards, but she brought along with her an amazing new song, "Cry Pretty."
1. "So I apologize if you don't like what you see, But sometimes my emotions get the best of me, And falling apart is as human as it gets..."
Carrie starts off her song with these strong lyrics. They immediately tell us "Hey, I'm upset. Sorry if you don't like it but it's only human so... get over it."
We don't have to be strong all the time.
2. "A picture of pain, so let it flow like a river..."
Don't hold it in. Let it out, breathe, and pick yourself up again.
3. "You can pretty lie and say it's okay, You can pretty smile and just walk away, Pretty much fake your way through anything, But you can't cry pretty..."
The first chorus and the first chord struck in your heart. The lyrics couldn't reveal any more of a truth when it comes to the expectations this world has given you.
4. "You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks, When all your mascara is going to waste, When things get ugly you just gotta face, That you can't cry pretty..."
Stop caring what others think and put yourself first. Like I said previously... let it all out.

Go pick up your earbuds and phone, let this song play, and let it hit you that Carrie's right. You can't cry pretty but that's OK.
