Borrowed Story

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] She called from a payphone near the corner store Said, “You promised me something,” but I’d never been there before A folded receipt, a borrowed name A story getting bigger every time it came [Pre-Chorus] I checked the dates, I checked the door There was no midnight, no hotel floor She held her breath and pointed at me Like a verdict waiting to be free [Chorus] She says I’m the one, but I don’t know her name She builds a whole case, then hands me the blame I won’t wear a promise I never made I’m stepping away from the game she played She says I’m the one, says the truth’s in her eyes But a borrowed story doesn’t make it alive [Verse 2] Her friend sent a message with a photograph A crowded room, a year I was working late shifts back The face was blurred, the jacket wrong Still she swore that I had led her on [Pre-Chorus] I checked the dates, I checked the door There was no midnight, no hotel floor She held her breath and pointed at me Like a verdict waiting to be free [Chorus] She says I’m the one, but I don’t know her name She builds a whole case, then hands me the blame I won’t wear a promise I never made I’m stepping away from the game she played She says I’m the one, says the truth’s in her eyes But a borrowed story doesn’t make it alive [Bridge] Keep your letter, keep your claim Don’t turn a rumor into my name I won’t fight fire with another lie I’ll leave the room and let the facts decide [Final Chorus] She says I’m the one, but I don’t know her name She builds a whole case, then hands me the blame I won’t wear a promise I never made I’m stepping away from the game she played She says I’m the one, says the truth’s in her eyes But a borrowed story doesn’t make it alive [Outro] No, I’m not the one you say Take your story far away
