playing house

must we label through a style
is that really everything we are
when you're feeling insecure
do you shop for a new part
dive into the gray to find out who you are
it is all an act
are we still playing house
is it all an act
are we still, are we still playing house

are you your relationship or your job
maybe you hide behind a pretty snob
I've got to honor the child within
also my magician, letting go of sin
is all an act
are we still playing house
is it all an act
are we still, are we still playing house

going through the motions, it gets old
which part should I play in the story you told
isn't that what you want, my girl
I'll be who I want to be in this world
I'll be who I want to be in this world, because
I'm tired of playing house
life is not an act
I'm tired of playing house
I'm tired of playing house
