I feel like a fraud Because this image was built up around me As if I am this thing to be admired Now this was the doing of others But I encouraged it Because I was desperate to be different To be special The spotlight was on me, so I took it an ran As if that one chance was a shift And from that point on I was a breakout star But one moment doesn't change a thing And just as quickly as I was brought to the top I have been knocked down And I feel like a fraud Because others had to work hard to earn What was once handed to me And the second I felt what they did I cried and complained Instead of learning to earn my place

Fraud
I feel like a fraud Because this image was built up around me As if I am this thing to be admired Now this was the doing of others But I encouraged it Because I was desperate to be different To be special The spotlight was on me, so I took it an ran As if that one chance was a shift And from that point on I was a breakout star But one moment doesn't change a thing And just as quickly as I was brought to the top I have been knocked down And I feel like a fraud Because others had to work hard to earn What was once handed to me And the second I felt what they did I cried and complained Instead of learning to earn my place
