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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
