Do you want the truth or something beautiful?

Sometimes (or pretty much most of the time) I run into really good singers or songs by accident... And this happened with Paloma Faith, my new redhead obsession... I love her and she's A-MA-ZING.
I listened to this song "Do you want the truth or something beautiful?" which also is the name of the album by accident and I fell in love with it... and I fell in love with the video...
And here's why: Sometimes we just want to hear pretty things... things that makes us feel good, handsome, pretty or just fine with ourselves... but most of the time they are just lies... sometimes innocent, sometimes the most ugly lies someone can say to us... and yet we feel that urge to hear them...
In the video of this song Paloma is a singer who pretends to be happy and gleeful in front of her audience, just like I fake a smile in front of people because I don't want to bore them with my problems... but when the audience is not looking, her smile faints... just like mine when I'm alone and feel lonely...
It's hard to show the people your real face but in the end, when she turns and cries because she can't pretend no more... The audience stands up extatic... So... sometimes I wonder... If I showed people my real face will they accept me like I am?
Will they stand up clapping and feeling proud of me?
... I can be who you want me to be... but, do you want me?...
