And I wonder, can I give you what you need? Don't want to find I've lost it all Too scared to have no one to call I don't know if you mean everything to me So can we just pretend Ooh, I don't want this to break you Ooh, but I've got no one else to talk

Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh) I'm wearing my heart like a crown Pretending that you're still around Oh yes, I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh) Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh) My need is

How can you ever sleep a wink at night, Pretending that everything is alright, Never in my life have I seen someone On and on and on and on it goes, You're the rotted root in the family tree. We're taught unconditional love, That blood is thicker than
