lyrics

You are a sneaky weasel
With all your two-faced treason
Attacked without a reason
Didn’t leave a clue
I was your one defender
But you were one pretender
Who bit the arm that leant a
Helping hand to you

I watch the smoke clear
It’s just as I feared
The crime scene appears
The truth, apparent

You killed the man I love
You broke my heart in two
You killed the man I love
And the man I love was you
You stripped the colour from my life
And painted it dark blue
You killed the man I love
And the man I love was you

Impostor, you are
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you – who the hell are you?
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you

I stood by you when you were low
Gave you a leg up to go
But then you spat at me, so
I withdrew my heart
And now you come back in here
Want to return where we were
But that don’t work for me sir
It’s best that I depart

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Love, love with all your soul
But don’t sell it to the traitor
Guard what’s good and true and whole
Or you’ll regret it later
[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]

Impostor, you are
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you – who the hell are you?
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you – who the hell are you?
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you – who the hell are you?
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you are
Impostor, you – who the hell are you?
