The Great Pretender - Alex Newell

Oh yes I’m the great pretender

Pretending 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
