Not My Story

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You heard my name in a crowded room Then built a story that filled the afternoon She points across the floor, says she knows my face But I never made that promise, never took that place [Pre-Chorus] Let the rumor run, let it circle the town I know what happened when the truth comes around [Chorus] No, I’m not the one she’s waiting for That story isn’t mine anymore She can call my name, but I won’t pretend A borrowed accusation isn’t how we end No, I’m not the one she claims I am I won’t wear somebody else’s plan [Verse 2] A photograph can lie when the angle is wrong A half-remembered night can turn into a song She keeps a folded note with a stranger’s sign And every detail points away from mine [Pre-Chorus] Let the rumor run, let it circle the town I know what happened when the truth comes around [Chorus] No, I’m not the one she’s waiting for That story isn’t mine anymore She can call my name, but I won’t pretend A borrowed accusation isn’t how we end No, I’m not the one she claims I am I won’t wear somebody else’s plan [Bridge] Put the question down, look me in the eyes Truth doesn’t need a costume or disguise If she wants an answer, here it is tonight: I never made that promise, and I’m walking right [Final Chorus] No, I’m not the one she’s waiting for That story isn’t mine anymore She can call my name, but I won’t pretend A borrowed accusation isn’t how we end No, I’m not the one she claims I am I won’t wear somebody else’s plan [Outro] Not my name, not my story Not my promise, not my glory
