Tired of Pretending Lyrics

Tired Of Pretending
By Radney Foster
CD - Are You Ready For The Big Show
The bridge is the only thing I am not 100% sure of!
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:
Tired of pretending
That everything is gonna work out just fine
Tired of pretending
That no one??s gonna get hurt if we just stand by
While we??re descending
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
(Bridge)
A house of cards is just like this home
With the flick of a finger the whole damn thing??s gone
