MINDY MCCREADY - Two Different Things lyrics

rate me

(Gary Burr/Hillary Lindsey/Bruce Bouton)

When you know

You don't need the time to talk about it

When you hear

You're heart says that you'll be fine without it

It's hard to find the strength to fight a battle

You're not winning

From the outside we appear to be

The way we've always been

How I look and how I feel

What I'm told and what is real

That's two different things

What they ask and what I pay

What I think and what I say

That's two different things

It isn't kind, it isn't fair

I have to draw the line somewhere

And face the tears that it brings

'Cause what you've got and what I need

Is two different things

Don't you see

We've been nothing but a grand illusion

Pardon me if I show the world trace we're using

Well I'm the first to tell you now

That half the blame is mine

We could keep pretending that tomorrow will be fine

How I look and how I feel

What I'm told and what is real

That's two different things

What they ask and what I pay

What I think and what I say

That's two different things

It isn't kind, it isn't fair

I have to draw the line somewhere

And face the tears that it brings

Cause what you've got and what I need

Is two different things

Everything you offer me

Should make me turn and stay

Black is white and wrong is right

And it's hard to live that way

How I look and how I feel

What I'm told and what is real

That's two different things

What they ask and what I pay

What I think and what I say

That's two different things

It isn't kind, it isn't fair

I have to draw the line somewhere

And face the tears that it brings

Cause what you've got and what I need

Is two different things

Cause what you've got and what I need

Is two different things

Oh yeah, two different things

Two different things
