The Great Pretender Lyrics
[00:07.21] Show up to the party, like I'm gonna burn it down
[00:12.08] And I overcompensate by laughing too much
[00:16.40] I'm drinking champagne, but it's only Tuesday
[00:20.75] So no one can tell what I'm keeping locked up
[00:27.65] Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
[00:32.45] I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
[00:36.35] But I make them believe that I've never been better
[00:44.18] I am the great pretender
[00:48.92] I am the great pretender
[00:55.22] This dress fits me perfect, but I wish I was thinner
[00:59.73] The stories I'm telling, don't tell the whole truth
[01:04.08] This smile isn't real, but it looks good in pictures
[01:08.83] Give me an Oscar for fooling the room
[01:15.01] 'Cause nobody knows I was just crying in a bathroom stall
[01:20.12] And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
[01:24.13] But I make them believe that I've never been better
[01:31.48] Oh, I am the great pretender
[01:37.51]
[01:56.47] I don't know why I lie to myself
[02:04.35] I wish these tears belonged to somebody else
[02:16.69] Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
[02:21.13] And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
[02:25.27] But I make them believe that I've never been better
[02:33.17] I am the great pretender
[02:37.65] I am the great pretender
[02:42.64]
[00:12.08] And I overcompensate by laughing too much
[00:16.40] I'm drinking champagne, but it's only Tuesday
[00:20.75] So no one can tell what I'm keeping locked up
[00:27.65] Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
[00:32.45] I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
[00:36.35] But I make them believe that I've never been better
[00:44.18] I am the great pretender
[00:48.92] I am the great pretender
[00:55.22] This dress fits me perfect, but I wish I was thinner
[00:59.73] The stories I'm telling, don't tell the whole truth
[01:04.08] This smile isn't real, but it looks good in pictures
[01:08.83] Give me an Oscar for fooling the room
[01:15.01] 'Cause nobody knows I was just crying in a bathroom stall
[01:20.12] And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
[01:24.13] But I make them believe that I've never been better
[01:31.48] Oh, I am the great pretender
[01:37.51]
[01:56.47] I don't know why I lie to myself
[02:04.35] I wish these tears belonged to somebody else
[02:16.69] Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
[02:21.13] And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
[02:25.27] But I make them believe that I've never been better
[02:33.17] I am the great pretender
[02:37.65] I am the great pretender
[02:42.64]
