And I remember the great pretender as she was dressed in that wicked little gown As she would enter with the smell of new lane and all those tiny little sounds And I remember the great pretender as she would enter and leave without a trace Without a member, holy December and empty outta space I promised myself again I will not give my heart to the sea I won't lose my soul again I will keep it in the happiest of all my times From this hotel room the night is silent, but my beat is thunder and my thoughts are getting weak Now I remember the great pretender Yes, I remember but am trying to forget I promised myself again I will not give my heart to the sea I won't lose my soul again I will keep it in the happiest of all my times I will keep it in the happiest of all my times
