Well
People talkin'
Think I'm alright
Think I'm doin' fine
Goin' through the motions of my life
Go to work nowEvery mornin'
Yeah, I play the part
Hide away the contents of my solemn heart

But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flow 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

Keep 'em guessin'
Keep 'em laughin'
Build the wall up high
Long as they don't see the other side
Oh you, you've really done it
Done a number
A number on my soul
There's no way I'll ever let you know

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

I'm not one to show emotion
Like some folks I see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
Oh, an' I don't miss you, not for a minute
I'm gonna be okay
Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day

Oh, but when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong rip tide
I'm still in love with you
It's all smoke and lies
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
