Not On My Name

Songtext

[Verse 1] She walked in with a story Folded up in her glove Said my name like a rumor Said it fast enough She kept staring at my shadow Like it owed her a ring But I know what my name is I know what I bring [Pre-Chorus] No, I never signed that letter No, I never made that claim If you want somebody else now Don’t pin it on my name [Chorus] Not on my name Not on my name You can turn that blame But not on my name Not on my name Not on my name Say it loud, say it plain But not on my name [Verse 2] She wore last week’s secrets Like a velvet disguise Kept a little old trouble Shining in her eyes Now the whole room leans in closer When she starts to explain But the truth don’t fit her version And it won’t stay tame [Pre-Chorus] No, I never signed that letter No, I never made that claim If you want somebody else now Don’t pin it on my name [Chorus] Not on my name Not on my name You can turn that blame But not on my name Not on my name Not on my name Say it loud, say it plain But not on my name [Bridge] If the whole thing shakes Let it shake tonight I won’t wear your ghost Just to keep you bright You can point that finger You can play that game I’m still standing here And I’m saying my name [Chorus] Not on my name Not on my name You can turn that blame But not on my name Not on my name Not on my name Say it loud, say it plain But not on my name
