Radney Foster - Tired of Pretending lyrics

rate me

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)
