Lyrics Jamala – The Great Pretender

Bright room
Dark shades
Smokey eyed
No shame

You wish you could explain

Broken hearts
Silly dreams
That help you to believe

This insanity
Begging a smile
If they all knew
What you are going through

You’re the great pretender

Your game
Your strain

Clean up your communication

You have died inside

Ah ah ah

You have died inside

Ah ah ah

No one can really understand
You’re not that whole
But you can pretend
No one can really understand
You’re not that cold but you pretend

Can you still play the game in our way

You’re the great pretender

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah

Heavy brow

There’s no sensation

Feel weak
Falling deep
Crave to be free
Just wanna be like a woman

Bright room
Dark shades
Smokey eyed
No shame

Oh you you wish you could explain

Broken hearts
Silly dreams
That help you to believe

This insanity

Ah ah ah

This insanity

Ah ah ah ah

No one can really understand
You’re not that whole
But you can pretend
No one can really understand
You’re not that cold but you pretend

Can you still play the game in our way

You’re the great pretender
