lyrics
Imposter Syndrome
I’m not gonna go
No I cancelled it for today
I always lie
I was pretending the whole time
I’m not okay
I was pretending the whole time
I always lie
I was pretending the whole time
I’m just a fuck up
I’m not okay
I’m not alright
I don’t feel okay
Everyday
I don’t feel okay
I don’t feel okay
You want
You want me to be okay
You want
You want me to be okay
I’m not alright
I don’t feel okay
Everyday
I don’t feel okay
And you watched my whole entire life
Fall apart
So are you happy about that?
I just
I don’t understand why
Why do I…
Get to keep going?
Yes
It’s a trip • It’s a trip • It’s a trip • It’s a trip
It’s a trip • It’s a trip • It’s a trip • It’s a trip
Oh I can't IImma too old
Oh I can't IImma too old
Oh I can't IImma too old
Oh I can't IImma too old
Oh I can't IImma too old
Oh I can't IImma too old
Oh I can't IImma too old
Oh I can't IImma too old
Well
If you don’t lose hope on me
Then I won’t
