Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender;
Pretend that I'm doing well.
My need is such,
I pretend too much.
I'm lonely, but no-one can tell.
Oh, 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 alone.
Too real is this feeling of make believe;
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal...
Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender,
Just laughing again, 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 around.
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal...
Oh, yes! I'm the great pretender!
Just laughing again, 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!!!...
