Imposter - Kadhja Bonet

I write to you, my darling, love

With 6,000 hours insulting the showers instead of you

Your faith in me has kept me through

Can’t fasten my wings to hand-me-down seams when we were new

I’m not an artist nor a masterpiece

I’m not a legend nor a gifted bard

I’m not the person that you thought I was

And never have been the one meant for us

I fooled you, ooh

I fooled you

I thought I’d be myself by now

I thought I would find myself in the light I almost drew

I thought I’d be the best for you

But how can I be when most of me I’ve never used?

I’m not the force I know I ought to be

I’m not a genius nor a pouring heart

I’m not the person that I thought I was

And never have been the one meant for us

I fooled you

I fooled you

I fooled you

I fooled you
