"I've Convinced Everybody But Myself" lyrics

I've Convinced Everybody But Myself

I've convinced everybody
I've forgotten you at last
That my heart has healed completely
From the heartbreaks of the past

They can't see the tears I'm hiding
How they hurt me when you left
I've convinced everybody
Everybody but myself

When somebody mentions you
My heart can feel the sting
But I play the part so perfectly
No one suspects a thing

Then they see me smiling
And I'm with somebody else
I've convinced everybody
Everybody but myself

I act so nonchalantly
When they mention my own pain
I pretend as though I'm searching
When I start to call your name

It would be a different story
If they knew just how I felt
I've convinced everybody
Everybody but myself

You prob'ly heard from others
How indefferent I have been
But they only see the upside
They can't see me deep within

And if you believe them
There's just one person left
I've convinced everybody
Everybody but myself
