Imposter Syndrome

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

I’m still having every conversation

I’ve ever started

Tending to my anxiety

Like a secret garden

Everybody loves me until they know me

Then they’re disappointed

Shiny bottle looks like wine

But there’s nothing in it

Like some kind of gimmick

So I think I’ll just head home

I start to sound like someone I don’t know

Everybody’s watching and I

I wouldn’t know friendship if it was knocking down my door

Imposter syndrome got me dancing alone

With everyone I know

All my friends are there for me

But all I ever do is let them down

So I spend my evenings inventing reasons

They should cut me out

‘Til I can’t keep count

Yeah, I think I’ll just head home

I start to sound like someone I don’t know

Everybody’s watching and I

I wouldn’t know friendship if it laid me out on the floor

Imposter syndrome got me dancing alone

With everyone I know

I don’t know who I am

Only who you want me to be

I don’t know what I want

I only know what you want from me

So I think I’ll just head home

I start to sound like someone I don’t know

Everybody’s watching and I

I wouldn’t know friendship if it saved my life when I’m low

Imposter syndrome got me dancing alone

With everyone I know

I wouldn’t know friendship if it was knocking down my door

Imposter syndrome got me dancing alone

With everyone I know
