This Pretender - Joe Diffie

Here you come knockin' on my heart like a sledge hammer

Tearin' down these walls I built so high

I’m tryin' to hide the truth behind all this false glamour

But somehow the truth still shows up in my eyes

Got a smile painted on my face

Got my heartache locked away prayin' you won’t see

Stayin' steady, stayin' strong

Actin' like there’s nothin' 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 it’s cover then I’m alright

For a moment I find some piece of mind that my heart is stealing

Looks like I’m livin' it up but I’m dyin' down deep inside

Oh yeah

Got a smile painted on my face

Got my heartache locked away prayin' you won’t see

Stayin' steady, stayin' strong

Actin' like there’s nothin' 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 your pretender

Turn another page

Pretender, still your pretender

I’m livin' a lie I can’t deny it

Pretender, still your pretender

It’s never ending, I’m always pretending

Pretender, still your pretender
