Lyric 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
