Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Actions have been justified
All is compromised
Looking for approval there
In someone elses eyes, oh
Dodging all you really are
Becomes your greatest task
Acting out your lonely part
You hide behind your mask
Bridge:
Never true to yourself
Knowing well this is not like you
Fooling yourself
Youre just living a lie
Chorus:
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Victim of the circumstance
Prisoner of the shame
But its the double standard life
That keeps you in the game
Taken by your own disguise
But when its wearing thin
Youll do anything it takes
To impress your friends
Bridge:
Never true to yourself
This is not what you want to be
Fooling yourself
Youre just living lie
Chorus
