The Great Pretender by The Jon Frederik Band Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 2004

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
Willing to Dream Forever"

Oh, I'll just float away
And let the waves keep pulling me in
I'll just hang out here and watch the world pass
Over my head
Because I'm still believing
All of the things you said

Are you searching for the truth
But all you come across is lies
Has someone sabotaged 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
Willing to Dream Forever"
Oh, I'll just float away
And let the waves keep pulling me in
I'll just hang out here and watch the world pass
Over my head
Because I'm still believing
All of the things you said

Why do I try?
Why do I try?
Why do I try?

I am the great pretender
Willing to dream forever
For right now
I said
I am the great-
I am the great-
I am the great pretender

Oh, I'll just float away
And let the waves keep pulling me in
I'll just hang out here and watch the world pass
Over my head
Because I'm still believing
All of the things you said, said, yeah
Right now
I said I am the great pretender
You know that I am the great pretender
You know what I'm saying
I am the great pretender
Because I'm still believing
All of the things you said
