The Great Pretender

     I can be sitting right next to you
And I can be in my darkest place
You’d never know where my thoughts are
I’ve got an unreadable poker face

Go ahead and ask me how I’m doing
And even if I’m going through Hell
I’ll lift my head up high and smile
And say I’m doing well

Though I’ve been damaged
There’s still love in this heart of mine
There’s a light refusing to die
As it fights every moment to shine

When I wake up everyday
And the world hits me with its best shot
It may knock me to the ground
And I’ll smile and say is that all you got

You will never know the battle I’m
Fighting and I will never surrender
I can play the role better than the best
I’m The Great Pretender
