The Great Pretender

Oh yes, I'm the great pretender

Pretending I'm doing well

My need is such, I pretend too much

I'm lonely but no one can tellOh yes, I'm the great pretender

Adrift in a world of my own

I play the game but to my real shame

You've left me to dream all aloneToo real is this feeling of make-believe

Too real when I feel what my heart can't concealOh yes, I'm the great pretender

Just laughing and gay like a clown

I seem to be what I'm not, you see

I'm wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you're still aroundToo real when I feel what my heart can't concealOh yes, I'm the great pretender

Just laughing and gay like a clown

I seem to be what I'm not you see

I'm wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you're

Pretending that you're still around
