Martina McBride - A Great Disguise lyrics

People talking, think I'm alright
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

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

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, number on my soul
But, I'll be damned if I 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 fools I see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
And I don't miss you not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay
Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day

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

I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
