This Pretender Lyrics - 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 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
