I like it    I don't like it

(even stevens/hillary kanter/greg barnhill)

People talking, think Im all right
Think Im doing fine
Goin through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin
Yeah I play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart

But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I cant control the flood of all these tears inside
And if they only knew
Theyd be so surprised
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise

Keep em guessin, keep em laughin
Build that wall up high
As long as they dont see the other side
Youve really done it
Done a number, a number on my soul
But Ill be damned if Ill ever let you know

But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Theres no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and i
Yeah, I wear it well
Though it aint my size
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise

Im not one to show emotion
Like some fools I see
I wont wear my heart out on my sleeve
I dont miss you
Not for a moment
Im gonna be okay

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 riptide
Im still in love with you
Its all smoke and lights
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise
Im just a good pretender in a great disguise
