Imposter Syndrome
[Verse 1]
It was so easy when I was a kid
I had no worries or self-hate or sinking feelings
Wish I could go back and tell her to stay fearless
'Cause the truth is, being an adult kinda sucks
[Pre-Chorus]
Anything that anybody says to you
It'll always cut through
Anything that anybody says to you
It'll stick to you like glue
Yeah, that's what words will do to you
[Chorus]
I feel like I'm not good enough
Every time that we talk
I suffer from imposter syndrome
But nobody would ever think so
Do you?
Do you know what you've done to me?
You'd say it's my fault
I suffer from imposter syndrome
But you would say I play the victim
[Verse 2]
There's a lot of ego going 'round
That's making a lot of room for second-guessing
And I hate that I'm the nice one in all of this
I'd like to think that you didn't mean it, but I know you did
[Pre-Chorus]
Anything that anybody says to you
It'll always cut through
Anything that anybody says to you
It'll stick to you like glue
Yeah, that's what words will do to you
[Chorus]
I feel like I'm not good enough
Every time that we talk
I suffer from imposter syndrome
But nobody would ever think so
Do you?
Do you know what you've done to me?
You'd say it's my fault
I suffer from imposter syndrome
But you would say I play the victim
[Bridge]
I think that I'm shit, but I'm not sure
But I'll believe that it's true if you say so
Walking through life with a chip on my shoulder
Maybe I'll gain your respect when I'm older
But when I'm older will you still talk down to me?
Give me a chance or is it out of courtesy?
I think it's so far down within me that I don't deserve this
Will it always be this way?
[Chorus]
I feel like I'm not good enough
Every time that we talk
I suffer from imposter syndrome
But nobody would ever think so
Do you?
Do you know what you've done to me?
You'd say it's my fault
I suffer from imposter syndrome
But you would say I play the victim
[Outro]
I suffer from imposter syndrome
But you would say I play the victim
