Oh yes, I'm the great pretender

"The great pretender"

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 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 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 wearing my heart like a crown:
Pretending that you're still around.
