This Pretender

(альбом: In Another World - 2001)

Here you come knocking on my heart like a sledge hammer
Tearing down these walls I built so high
I'm trying to hide the truth behind all this false glamor
But somehow the truth still shows up in my eyes

Got a smile painted on my face
Got my heartache locked away praying you won't see
Staying steady, staying strong
Acting like there's nothing wrong 'til you look at me

Won't win this fight, I surrender
So turn another page of this pretender

Sometimes I think I put it all behind me and I'm finally healing
If you judge a book by its cover then I'm alright
For a moment I find some piece of mind that my heart is stealing
Looks like I'm living it up but I'm dying down deep inside
Oh, yeah

Got a smile painted on my face
Got my heartache locked away praying you won't see
Staying steady, staying strong
Acting like there's nothing wrong 'til you look at me

Won't win this fight, I surrender
So turn another page of this pretender

Won't win this fight, I surrender
Mmm, mmm, turn another page of this pretender

Pretender, still you're pretender
Turn another page
Pretender, still you're pretender
I'm living a lie, I can't deny it

Pretender, still you're pretender
It's never ending, I'm always pretending
Pretender, still you're pretender
