If I should lose you it would jurt so bad
You are the only love that I've had
Tell me why
Why should it end this way
You know it hurts me deep in my heart
To know that we are drifting apart
Tell me why
Why should it end this way
Yes, I could scream, I want you to know
It'll hurt me so bad if you should go
Tell me why
Why should it end this wayOh 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
