Not My Song lyrics

She walked in with a story ready Heavy name, sharp disguise Said the truth lives in reflections But her mirror's full of lies Pictures dated, moments twisted Promises left on the floor She swears I was the beginning But I was already someone's home before I saw fear behind her confidence When the doubt reached me Love doesn't grow from chaos Or public sympathy She says I crossed a line I never knew Says her tears belong to me But the love I go back home to Knows exactly who I am, who I'll always be They call her Billie Jean in the headlines Like a story they've seen before But the truth ain't dancing in the spotlight It's sleeping at home behind a closed door Letters left at my doorway Whispers turning into noise She wants a face for the blame A stage, a scene, a louder voice While I'm walking back home With a tired heart, steady ground Between the chaos outside And the silence where love is found You don't ask, you just look And I answer without a sound Loyalty isn't an argument It's how I stand my ground She says I crossed a line I never knew Says her scars were made by me But the love I go back home to Never questioned what she sees They whisper Billie Jean like it's the truth Like a name can change what's real But lies don't survive the night When something honest is what you feel If the world needs a villain They can write another role My commitment doesn't shake It doesn't sell my soul She says I crossed a line I never knew But lies don't make a man They can say Billie Jean a thousand times Still won't change where I stand It's not my story Not my song to defend The truth has a name, a home And it sleeps with me again and again Not my song Not my name
