Words & Music: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick
|
|
Actions have been justified
|
All is compromised
|
Looking for approval there
|
In someone else's eyes, oh
|
Dodging all you really are
|
Becomes your greatest task
|
Acting out your lonely part
|
You hide behind your mask
|
Bridge:
|
Never true to yourself
|
Knowing well this is not like you
|
Fooling yourself
|
You're just living a lie
|
|
Chorus:
|
Goin' goin'
|
Goin' thru the motions
|
Goin' goin'
|
Goin' thru the motions
|
Goin' goin'
|
Goin' thru the motions
|
Goin' goin'
|
Goin' thru the motions
|
|
Victim of the circumstance
|
Prisoner of the shame
|
But it's the double standard life
|
That keeps you in the game
|
Taken by your own disguise
|
But when it's wearing thin
|
You'll do anything it takes
|
To impress your friends
|
|
Bridge:
|
Never true to yourself
|
This is not what you want to be
|
Fooling yourself
|
You're just living lie
|
|
