Joe Diffie This Pretender
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 glamor
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 its 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 you're pretender
Turn another page
Pretender, still you're pretender
I'm livin' 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
