The great pretender

Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender,
Pretending that I'm doing well
I need you such, I can't tell too much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell

Oh! Yes, I'm the great pretender,
A drift in a world of my own
Yes, I play 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 laughing and gay as a clown
When I seem to be what I'm not you see,
I'm wearing my heart like a crown

Pretending that you're still around
