====================================

Tell me now if you came
sneaking up behind
Would you know me
and see behind the smile
I can change
like colors on a wall
Hoping no one else will find
what lies beneath it all
I think I hide 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 won't forget my name
That's the way we will
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
everybody looking
I swore they'd never see me cry
You'll never see me cry

I'm stepping out
everyone can see my face
All the things I can't erase
from my life
Everybody knows
Standing out
so you won't forget my name
That's the way we play
this game of life
Everybody knows

You say I'll pay the price
That's the chance that I'll take
Though you may think
I'm telling lies
But I just call it getting by

Stepping out,
everyone can see my face
All the things
I can't erase from my life
Everybody knows

Standing out
so you won't forget my name
That's the way we will play
this game of life
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
