The Great Pretender

[Verse 1]
Show up to the party like I'm gonna burn it down
And I overcompensate by laughin' too much
I'm drinkin' champagne, but it's only Tuesday
So no one can tell what I'm keepin' locked up

[Chorus]
Nobody knows I'm cryin' in a bathroom stall
I'm livin' in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
I am the great pretender
I am the great pretender

[Verse 2]
This dress fits me perfect, but I wish I was thinner
The stories I'm tellin' don't tell the whole truth
This smile isn't real, but it looks good in pictures
Give me an Oscar for foolin' the room

[Chorus]
'Cause nobody knows I was just cryin' in a bathroom stall
And I'm livin' in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
Oh, I am the great pretender

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Ooh

[Bridge]
I don't know why I lie to myself
I wish these tears belonged to somebody else

[Chorus]
Nobody knows I'm cryin' in a bathroom stall
And I'm livin' in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
I am the great pretender
I am the great pretender
