tell me now if you came sneaking up behind
would you know me and see behind the smile
I can change like colors on the wall
hoping no one else will find what lies beneath it all
I think I had 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 wont 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 with everybody looking
I swore they’d never see me cry
you say I’ll pay the price
that’s a chance that I’ll take
though you may think I’m telling lies

but I just call it getting by ~dixie chicks
