Lyrics

I've been here before
The feeling's all too familiar
The knock on the door
Makes me want to turn and run away
There's nothing to fear, but I'm still afraid
It's just a charade playing out inside my head

There's an imposter at my doorstep, and he wants to break in
There's an imposter at my doorstep, now my troubles begin
He reminds me of things I try to forget, just when I thought I could win
There's an imposter at my doorstep

I stand alone in the crowd
Will they see through my deception
No mistakes are allowed
Or else my cover surely will be blown
What am I doing here, will they figure me out
I've got to shake off the doubt, and embrace the recognition I deserve

There's an imposter at my doorstep, and he's stealing my soul
There's an imposter at my doorstep, he's slowly taking control
Constantly living under his threat, now it;s taking its toll
There's an imposter at my doorstep

I strive for perfection but I always set the bar too high
I need that validation in order to get by
I see now that there's no shame to ask for help when I really need it
'Cause there's no way for someone to know everything from the start

There's nowhere left to run
It's kind of pointless to hide
I'll throw the door open wide, and look my demons in the eyes

There's an imposter at my doorstep, and he's not welcome to stay
There's an imposter at my doorstep, now he's fading away
I'm feeling free, flying high, a thousand feet off the ground
He disappears without a sound
