    The song describes the singer as a "great pretender" who pretends that they are doing well and hides their loneliness from others. The pretense is too real and painful, as the singer wears their heart "like a crown" and pretends that a lost love is still around. They seem to be something that they are not and play the game of pretending, but it brings them only shame and leaves them dreaming alone.
