About the song...
This song means a lot to me as an artist and as a person. I’ve always written songs about love, relationships, heartbreak, etc. Recently I’ve felt called to write about other topics that are important to me like psychology, human behavior, the state of the world, societal trends. I’ve written a few in this area but I wasn’t sure I was ready to share any of them with the world. After all, love songs seem to be the safer and more predictable route. But this song stood out to me so much musically, that I decided to rip off the bandaid and show another side of myself as an artist. Pretty Lies is about how much negativity and emotional overwhelm the world is going through right now and how it would be easier if we were just told “Pretty Lies” instead of being told the ugly truth. I hope this song makes people feel a little less lonely as they navigate remaining hopeful and positive within a world that seems intent to bring our spirits down.

"Pretty Lies" is now yours & I hope you love it as much as I do!
Xo, Nat

Pretty Lies - Lyrics

Tell me pretty lies
I don’t wanna find what’s
Really going on out there
Need you to sugarcoat it
Don’t know if I can know what’s
Really going wrong I swear

You
I think you’ve got this all wrong
You think you’re in control
I think that is long gone

You know I heard recently
They say it’s all up to you and me
Til they steal your inner peace
Go out and sell it on the street

You can go and stand up straight and
Signal you won’t hesitate to
Jump back in the lion's den once more

Tell me pretty lies
I don’t wanna find what’s
Really going on out there
Need you to sugarcoat it
Don’t know if I can know what’s
Really going wrong I swear

Just take the leap
What you say to me
But it’s really looking lonely out there
So beware, yeah yeah
There’s only one answer here
So beware, yeah yeah
There’s only one answer out here

I, I was skeptical a long time ago
I wanted to know
But I was told that’s something they won’t show
So I tried
To make peace with it inside my mind
I picked apart what hides in the dark
Til it all came spilling out the sides

[CHORUS]

Tell me pretty lies
I don’t wanna find what’s
Really going on out there
Need you to sugarcoat it
Don’t know if I can know what’s
Really going wrong I swear

Tell me pretty lies
I don’t wanna find what’s
Really going on out there
Need you to sugarcoat it
Don’t know if I can know what’s
Really going wrong I swear

Just take the leap
What you say to me
But it’s really looking lonely out there
So beware, yeah yeah
There’s only one answer here
So beware, yeah yeah
There’s only one answer out here
