Ugly Truth

Soundgarden

Written by Chris Cornell



You hide your eyes

But the ugly truth

Just loves to give it away

You gave yourself

If you were mine to give

I might throw it away

You share but money can¡¯t give

What the truth takes away

Throw it away



I painted my eyes

Ugly isn¡¯t what I want to see

I painted my mind

Ugly isn¡¯t what I want to be

I don¡¯t mind but the truth

Don¡¯t look that good on me

Throw it away



I don¡¯t think I really

Understand you

And I can¡¯t see why

I¡¯d ever want to

And even if it isn¡¯t mine to say

I¡¯ll say it anyway

It¡¯s ugly



If you were mine to give

I might throw it away

But money can¡¯t give

What the truth takes away

Throw it away
