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 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
Of everybody looking
I swore they´d never see me cry
You´ll never see me cry

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 play this game of life
Everybody knows I am just barely getting by
