Picture-Perfect Lie V2 (Female/Americana)

VERSE
Her mama wanted her to marry a rich man
So she would never have to do without
To that sweet young girl, it sounded like a good plan
Maybe that's what life was all about
VERSE
She hooked up with a guy who had money
And now she has a family of her own
She's a mother and a wife; it's a silver-plated life
But it no longer feels like home
CHORUS
There's a picture on the wall of a perfect family
But she knows how to hide what's inside
And the saddest part of all; he does not even know when she cries
She's livin' in a picture-perfect lie
VERSE
One day her little boy saw tears in his mommy's eyes
He touched her hand, said: "Mommy, please don't cry"
She just looked away; could she survive another day?
She needs a warmth that cold, hard cash can't buy
Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
She found out way too late; it's an all-too common fate
Money can't buy love
Repeat CHORUS/TAG
She's livin' in a picture-perfect lie
