Tell me now if you came sneaking up behind

Would you know me and see behind the smile

I can change like colors on a wall

Hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all

I think I hide it all so well



* Stepping out, everyone can see my face

All the things I can't erase from my life

Everybody knows

Standing out so you won't forget my name

That's the way we play this game of life

Everybody knows



Looking through the crowd

I search for something else

But every time I turn around

I run into myself

Here I stand

Consumed with my surroundings

Just another day

Of everybody looking

I swore they'd never see me cry

You'll never see me cry



[Repeat *]



You say I'll pay the price

That's the chance that I'll take

Though you may think I'm telling lies

But I just call it getting by



[Repeat *]
