A great disguise lyrics

Artist  : Pam tillis 
Song : A great disguise
 

(Even Stevens/Greg Barnhill/Hillary Kanter)

People talkin`, think I`m alright
Think I`m doin` fine
Goin` through the motioms of my life
Go to work now, every 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
You`ve really done it, done a number
A number of 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
I don`t miss you, not for a minute I`m gonna be
OK
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 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
