Lyrics of The great pretender

Oh, 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, oh, yes, i'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I've played the game, but to my real shame
You've 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 laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what i'm not, you see
I'm wearin' my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Too real is the feeling of make-believe
Too real, when i feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh, yes, i'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what i'm not, you see
I'm wearin' this old heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

But i know what i am
I am the great pretender
