I've convinced everybody I've forgotten you at last

That my heart has healed completely from the heartbreaks of the past

They can't see the tears I'm hiding how they hurt me when you left

I've convinced everybody everybody but myself



When somebody mentions you my heart can feel the sting

But I play the part so perfectly no one suspects a thing

Then they see me smiling and I'm with somebody else

I've convinced everybody everybody but myself

[ piano - fiddle ]

I act so nonchalantly when they mention my own pain

I pretend as though I'm searching when I start to call your name

It would be a different story if they knew just how I felt

I've convinced everybody everybody but myself



You prob'ly heard from others how indefferent I have been

But they only see the upside they can't see me deep within

And if you believe them there's just one person left

I've convinced everybody everybody but myself
