Words & Music: Michael W. Smith and Wayne Kirkpatrick



Actions have been justified

All is compromised

Looking for approval there

In someone else's 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

You're 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 it's the double standard life

That keeps you in the game

Taken by your own disguise

But when it's wearing thin

You'll do anything it takes

To impress your friends



Bridge:

Never true to yourself

This is not what you want to be

Fooling yourself

You're just living lie



Chorus
