A Great Disguise

[Verse 1] People talking, think I'm all right Think I'm doing fine Going through the motions of my life Go to work now every morning Yeah I play the part And hide away the contents of my solemn heart [Chorus] But when the sun goes down And the moon is high I can't control the flood of all these tears inside And if they only knew They'd be so surprised I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise [Verse 2] Keep them guessing, keep them laughing Build that wall up high As long as they don't see the other side You've really done it Done a number, a number on my soul But I'll be damned if I'll ever let you know [Chorus] But when the sun goes down And the moon is high There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and I Yeah, I wear it well Though it ain't my size I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise [Verse 3] I'm not one to show emotion Like some fools I see I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve I don't miss you Not for a moment I'm going to be okay Words of wisdom spoken By the light of day [Chorus] But when the sun goes down And the moon is high Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide I'm still in love with you It's all smoke and lights I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise [Outro] I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
