The Great Pretender
Show up to the party, like I'm gonna burn it down
And I overcompensate by laughing too much
I'm drinking champagne, but it's only Tuesday
So no one can tell what I'm keeping locked up
Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
I am the great pretender
I am the great pretender
This dress fits me perfect, but I wish I was thinner
The stories I'm telling, don't tell the whole truth
This smile isn't real, but it looks good in pictures
Give me an Oscar for fooling the room
'Cause nobody knows I was just crying in a bathroom stall
And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
Oh, I am the great pretender
I don't know why I lie to myself
I wish these tears belonged to somebody else
Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
I am the great pretender
I am the great pretender
And I overcompensate by laughing too much
I'm drinking champagne, but it's only Tuesday
So no one can tell what I'm keeping locked up
Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
I am the great pretender
I am the great pretender
This dress fits me perfect, but I wish I was thinner
The stories I'm telling, don't tell the whole truth
This smile isn't real, but it looks good in pictures
Give me an Oscar for fooling the room
'Cause nobody knows I was just crying in a bathroom stall
And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
Oh, I am the great pretender
I don't know why I lie to myself
I wish these tears belonged to somebody else
Nobody knows I'm crying in a bathroom stall
And I'm living in a house of cards about to fall
But I make them believe that I've never been better
I am the great pretender
I am the great pretender
