Pretending that I'm doin' 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 alone
Too real is this feelin' of make believe
Too real what 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 feelin' of make believe
Too real what I feel, what my heart can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending that you're still around
Pretending that you're still around
Pretending that you're still around
Oh yes I'm the great pretender Pretending that I'm doin' 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 alone Too real is this feelin' of make believe Too real what 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 feelin' of make believe Too real what I feel, what my heart can't conceal Oh yes I'm the great pretender Pretending that you're still around Pretending that you're still around Pretending that you're still around Explain Request ×
