Halsey - The Great Impersonator Lyrics

Halsey - The Great Impersonator Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Uh-oh

Does a story die with its narrator?

Uh-oh

Surely it's forgotten soon or later

Uh-oh

Hope they spell my name right in the paper

Uh-oh

In here lies the great impersonator

[Post-Chorus]

Mmm-mm

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

This is a cry for help, callin' for assistance

But you can't tell I need it when you're watchin' from a distance

[Chorus]

Uh-oh

Does a story die with its narrator?

Uh-oh

Surely it's forgotten soon or later

Uh-oh

Hope they spell my name right in the paper

Uh-oh

In here lies the great impersonator
