Great Pretender

[Verse 1]
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 tell

[Verse 2]
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in my world of my own
I played the game, but to my real shame
You've left me all alone

[Bridge]
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

[Verse 3]
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 if you're still around
