The Great Pretender
To the tune of The Great Pretender.
| New Lyrics | Original Lyrics |
| Oh, yes, I’m the great pretender Pretending that God isn’t there That He can’t see The pain in me The trials and burdens I bear |
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 Pretending that God doesn’t care His love to share Can’t reach to me where I'm caught in my sin like a snare. |
Oh yes, I'm the great pretender A drift in a world of my own I play the game; But to my real shame You've let me to dream all alone. |
| Too real is this portent of deception So real that I dread That I'm be-ing mislead. |
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 Pretender but God chases me Although I hate I can’t obfuscate That love that I know is so great By pretending it's God that I hate. |
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 portent of deception So real that I dread That I'm be-ing mislead. |
Too real is this feeling of make believe Too real when I feel What my heart can't conceal. |
| Yes, I'm the great pretender Pretending my smile's not a frown. My life is whole when it's upside down. My troubles in alcohol drown. And cry without making a sound. |
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 |
