Tired Of Pretending Lyrics - Radney Foster

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 every fear 

That we don't talk about 

We gotta shake that demon out 

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 descending 

I'm tired of pretending 

It's an amazing thing 

All of 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 

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 

How suckers is just like his home 

With a flick of a thing over old damn things gone 

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 

I'm tired of pretending 

That everything is gonna work out just fine 

While we're descending 

I'm tired of pretending 

This lie that we're living 

Won't have a happy ending 

Tired of pretending 

Tired of pretending 

Tired of pretending
