Imposter

[Verse 1]
I'm the imposter, the emperor parading through the town square
Naked as a jaybird
Vying for the spotlight, even as I feel the rush of cold air
But no one says a word

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the one-night stand, up against the wall
I'll promise you I love you
But I'll never ever call

[Chorus]
Liar, loser, phony
No one ever says so but I know it's true
Poser, lightweight, cheapskate
The wannabe, the woe is me
Go ahead and drop the other shoe

[Verse 2]
It runs in the family, I come from a long line of pretenders
Naked just like me
Keeping up the pretense, dodging our reflection
So we don't see what everyone else sees

[Chorus]
Liar, loser, phony
No one ever says so but I know it's true
Poser, lightweight, cheapskate
The woe is me, the wannabe
Someone better muster up the truth

[Bridge]
Why am I the only one who's tired of pretend?
My very own best saboteur
Coming clean has such allure

[Chorus]
Liar, loser, phony
No one ever says so but I know it's true, know it's true
Poser, lightweight, cheapskate
The woe is me, the wannabe
I don't want to wait and see
Liar loser phony
No one ever says so but I know it's true
Poser, lightweight, it's late
So I'm putting on my old cheap suit
I abdicate, my reign here is through
So drop the other shoe

[Outro]
I'm the imposter, the emperor parading through the town square
Naked as a jaybird
