Some people meet one version of you… and decide that’s the whole story. One bad night. One sharp reply. One chapter they never bothered to finish. Let them. You don’t owe every stranger the director’s cut of your life. Leave it… Let them talk… Leave it… Let them talk… Ooooo… You know… You know… Who you are… Buy the good shoes. The road doesn’t care how hard you’re trying. Call people back while their laugh still sounds like home. Keep one friend who loves the truth more than applause. Don’t confuse attention with affection. One asks for more. The other lets you rest. Leave it… Let them talk… Leave it… Let them talk… You know… You know… Who you are… When someone gets you wrong… don’t spend your life collecting receipts. Some people need you to stay the villain. Let them. Correcting every idiot is a full-time job… with terrible benefits. Leave it… Let them talk… Leave it… Let them talk… Ooooo… You know… You know… Who you are… Wear the good shirt. Keep the photograph. Leave before you hate the party. And when the room decides it knows your whole story… Dance anyway. Leave it… Leave it… You know… You know… You know who you are… Ooooo… Leave it…
