VERSE 1
Brutal honesty has always been my strong point.
Yeah, it’s my blessing and my curse.
I’ve never heard of this thing called tact.
What is that?
In my opinion,
It’s forsaking respect.
And decency.
A way to soften a blow.
Sugar coat what you really mean.
I don’t think I get it.

CHORUS
I can’t see it.
I just can’t see why
Playing your Poker Face
Is showing your professional side
In a world
Where we neglect the truth and encourage lies
Because it’s easier.
Is it really?

VERSE 2
You can call it just a lie of omission. Well,
Does that really make it any more right?
Swearing falsely was a sin last I checked.
But whatever
Helps you sleep at night,
I’m sure you’ll justify.
Still, I’m not the kind
To pretend
Like everything is still all right
When it simply isn’t.

CHORUS 

CHORUS
I can’t see it.
I just can’t see why
Playing your Poker Face
Is showing your professional side
In a world
Where we neglect the truth and encourage lies
Because it’s easier.
Lie, because it’s easier.
We lie because it’s easier.

Well, is it really?
