Do you wander through this life
Like a child without a care
Do you fear the things you love
Do you seek the things you fear
When the world comes crashing down,
Do you just smile and say
I am the great pretender, oh yeah
Willing to dream forever
Oh, i'll just float away and let waves keep pulling me in
I'll just hang out here and watch the world pass over my head
Because i still believe in
All of the things you said
Oh, all of the things you said
Are you searching for the truth,
But all you come across is lies
Did someone sabotage your route
Left all the answers in disguise
When the world comes crashing down,
Do you just smile and say
I am the great pretender, oh yeah
Willing to take the dream forever
Oh, i just float away and let waves keep pulling me in
I'll just hang out here and watch the world, pass over my head
Because i still believe in
All of the things you said
Oh yeah
Why, do i, try
Oh, why, do i, try
Yeah, why, do i, try
I am the great pretender, oh yeah
Willing to take the dream forever, oh right now
I say, i am the great,
I am the great.
I am the great pretender,
But oh, i just float away and let waves *keep* pulling me in
I'll just hang out here and watch the world pass over my head
Because i still believe in
All of the things you said
Yeah, yeah, oh right now
I say i am the great pretender,
Yeah, you know that,
I am the great pretender,
Yeah you know what i'm saying,
I still believe in all of the things you said,
Oh, all of the things you said
