"Tired Of Pretending"
|
Radney Foster/ Stephany Delray
|
|
|
The silence is deafening
|
It's drowning out the truth
|
And killing every good thing that we try to do
|
|
It's so polite 'round here
|
It's hiding any fear
|
That we don't talk about
|
We gotta shake that demon out
|
|
(CHORUS)
|
I'm tired of pretending
|
That everything is gonna work out just fine
|
I'm tired of pretending
|
That no one's gonna get hurt if we just stand by
|
While we're decending
|
I'm tired of pretending
|
|
It's an amazing thing
|
All the lies you tell
|
They don't do anything but help you fool yourself
|
Starting today I'm done
|
I'm through holding onto some dark secret that we keep
|
I've bitten my tongue until it bleeds
|
|
(REPEAT CHORUS)
|
|
Tag: While we're descending, this lie that we're living
|
No happy ending
|
