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 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-belief Too real when I feel what my heart can 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-belief Too real when I feel what my heart can 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
