He comes home from work that day
Takes off his coat, and his plastered smile
He sighs through the lies and the maybe next times
He's tired of being someone else
It's impossible to be, anything other than yourself
You can fake a smile, but it would only be someone else
You can play the part, but you can't fool your heart
She steps on the bus that day
She smiles and says that she's doing okay
But she pretends not to notice the whispers and glances
She's tired of being someone else
It's impossible to be, anything other than yourself
You can fake a smile, but it would only be someone else
You can play the part, but you can't fool your heart
Oh you're, trying too hard
To change what you see
You are only saying, part of the story
And you reach out to turn the lights on
Will you finally see, clearly now?
It's impossible to be, anything other than yourself
You can play the part
But you can't fool, no you can't fool, you can't fool
Your heart
No, no
You can't fool your heart
Oh it's impossible, it's impossible
To fool, your heart
Your heart
