The Platters - The Great Pretender
Oh yes, I’m the great pretender
Pretending that I’m doing well
My need is such; I pretend too much
I’m lonely but no one can tell.
I’ve loved this song since I was a child, it never had romantic meaning for me… I just identified with it because I always felt like I was pretending to be extroverted when I actually wasn’t. It gets lonely when you’re faking it. I guess I just wanted someone to understand how I felt.
