Mindy McCready Lyrics
"Two Different Things"

When you know
You don't need the time to talk about it
When you hear
Your heart say that you'll be fine without it
It's hard to find the strength to fight a battle you're not in
From the outside we appear to be the way we've always been

How I look and how I feel
What I'm told and what is real
That's two different things
What they ask and what I'll pay
What I think and what I say
That's two different things

It isn't kind it isn't fair
I have to draw the line somewhere
To face the tears that it brings
Cause what you got and what I need
Is two different things

Don't you see
We've been nothin but a grand illusion
Pardon me
If I show the world the tricks we're usin
Well I'm the first to tell you now that half the blame is mine
We can keep pretending that tomorrow will be fine

How I look and how I feel
What I'm told and what is real
That's two different things
What they ask and what I'll pay
What I think and what I say
That's two different things

Oh it isn't kind it isn't fair
I have to draw the line somewhere to face the tears that it brings
Cause what you got and what I need
Is two different things

Everything you offer me should make me turn and stay
Black is white and wrong is right
It's hard to live that way

How I look and how I feel
What I'm told and what is real
That's two different things
What they ask and what I'll pay
What I think and what I say
That's two different things

Oh it isn't kind it isn't fair
I have to draw the line somewhere to face the tears that it brings
Cause what you got and what I need
Is two different things
Cause what you got and what I need
Is two different things

Oh yeah, two different things
Two different things...
