the great impersonator

Halsey

No one has to know
I could always hide
But sometimes it might get to me
The things on all their minds
Like, They don t know I m lonely
And, They don t know I m kind
Or scared that I can t hack it with the current paradigm

Every single line
Every single rhyme
Every single truth I sing
Once started as a lie
I promise that I m fine
But then I redesign
And put myself together like some little Frankenstein

Ah-ah
Does a story die with its narrator?
Ah-ah
Surely it s forgotten soon or later
Ah-ah
Hope they spell my name right in the paper
Ah-ah
In here lies the great impersonator

Mm-mm

I m lying in a car crash
In a pile of broken glass
It s funny how it looks like glitter from the overpass
I m in a pick-up truck, the door is stuck
I m sinking in the water
And the girl inside is waving
but the people just applaud her

This is a cry for help, callin for assistance
But you can t tell I need it
when you re watchin from a distance

Ah-ah
Does a story die with its narrator?
Ah-ah
Surely it s forgotten soon or later
Ah-ah
Hope they spell my name right in the paper
Ah-ah
In here lies the great impersonator
