Letra de This Grand Charade
You go to bed early and darlin' I'll stay up late Come to the morning the kids are already awake Get 'em dressed, get 'em breakfast, out the door and on the bus Hope they don't see these walls building up between usYou put on your makeup and don't even look my way Pass by me in the hallway like a ghost that's running away Tell me we've got dinner plans with friends at 5 And ask if maybe we could just act happy tonightOh, but nobody can tell Cause we play the part so well Fool 'em all little by little more every day The truth is we made a mistake We ain't that happy couple on the wedding cake Yeah, it's you and me darlin' just living this grand charadeI drive to work in this rusted out pickup truck Coffee steams in the holder I'm torn between staying and just giving up Sometimes I sit in this parking lot and I just cry And wonder how the hell this became our lifeOh, but nobody can tell Cause we play the part so well Fool 'em all little by little more every day The truth is we made a mistake We ain't that happy couple on the wedding cake Yeah, it's you and me darlin' just living this grand charadeWe can try to stay together for our parents and for the kids But we know now there ain't nothing to change all of this We can act like it ain't over, but it is Let's do it again Come on pretendHoping nobody can tell Cause we play the part so well Fool 'em all little by little more every day Yeah, the truth is we made a mistake We ain't that happy couple on the wedding cake Yeah, it's you and me darlin' just living this grand charadeCome on little darlin' we'll live in this grand charade
