People talking think I'm all right think I'm doing fine

Goin' through the motions of my life

Go to work now every mornin' 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 'em guessin' keep 'em laughin' 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

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

[ guitar ]

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 gonna be okay

Words of wisdom spoken by the light of day

But when the sun goes down and the moon is high

Your mem'ry 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
