You pretend you're so cool
It's not you who's the fool
Says the voice on your shoulder


You pretend you're so calm
And you've never been harmed

But you're crying inside

[Chorus:]

Can't deny
What you find under the cover
What you need's more than a lover


You would like to believe
You could never deceive

Not yourself or another
When the going gets rough
You pretend you're so tough

But you're hurting inside

What you need is a friend

You can trust 'till the end
And you don't need no other
After all you've been through

l can see why you choose
Living life in disguise
