the great pretender

Lyrics

oh yes, i'm the great pretender, pretending 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 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 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 around, 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 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 around
