No record can't tell ya
I'm the great pretender
There's a war inside me but the water is still
I said you don't know me, no record can't tell ya
You see every day I'm strugglin'
Oh oh, I'm the great pretender, some great pretender
Oh oh, I'm the great pretender, some great pretender
You don't know me
I'm tryin' so hard
Said you don't know me
(No record can't tell ya)
Yet to lose my composure, I don't normally do
I'd bust your head and break your brain for five minutes of fame
You don't know me
Oh oh, I'm the great pretender
I just thought that you should know I've been sicker than you
You'll be safer every time assuming it will
For the strength to let it go, hey
I could feel the anger starting to happen again
You say you want my pain, my own personal pain
Just got to let the wind blow", hey
No record can't tell ya
But beware of the blackness that it's capable of
A dark side of the light that no one ever should see
You don't know me, no record can't tell ya
I'm the great pretender
No record can't tell ya
Said you don't know
They say, "In life you shouldn't worry
Oh oh, I'm the great pretender
A lot of hurt, heartache and hard times, it's hard to explain
I said you don't know me
You don't know me
You don't know me, no record can't tell ya
I'm the great, I'm the great pretender
My heart beats with unconditional love
You got to travel the road of a troubled soul
Oh oh, I'm the great pretender
I said you don't know me, no record can't tell ya
Oh, I feel for the foolish for fucking with me
Said you don't know, oh oh, oh oh
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh oh, I'm the great pretender
I'm tryin' so hard not to lose control
