Bright room, dark shades

Smokey eyed, no shame

You wish you could explain

Broken hearts, silly dreams

That help you to believe

This insanity

Begging a smile if they all knew

What you are going through

You're the great pretender

Your game, your strain

Clean up your communication

You have died inside

No one can really understand

You're not that whole but you pretend

No one can really understand

You're not that cold but you pretend

Can you still play the game your way

You're the great pretender

Heavy brow, crack a smile

Live your life, you're numb

There is no sensation

Feel weak, falling deep

Crave to be free

Just wanna feel like a woman

Bright room, dark shades

Smokey eyed, no shame

Oh you, you wish you could explain

Broken hearts, silly dreams

That help you to believe

This insanity

No one can really understand

You look so whole but you pretend

No one can really understand

You're not that cold but you pretend

No one can really understand

You look so whole but you pretend

No one can really understand

You're not that cold but you pretend

Can you still play the game your way

You're the great pretender
