What My Truth Exposed

[Verse 1] They call me Miss Never Good Enough, Like I was born to disappoint, Little Miss Know-It-All, Just because I found my voice. No one wants to listen, But they want me on the stand, Pointing every finger Like I planned what they don’t understand. [Pre-Chorus] No, I don’t know a lot of things, I won’t pretend I do, But I’ve watched the way people break, And how they hide the truth. [Chorus] I’ve studied just about every human being, The way they lie, the way they lean, The way they smile with sharpened teeth, Then act like they’re so clean. Miss Never Good Enough, Little Miss Too Much to say, But when the whole room burns down, They still ask me to take the blame. [Verse 2] I learned silence has a language, And guilt knows how to dress, Some people wear concern Just to cover up the mess. They say I’m dramatic, Say I’m reading into signs, But I’ve seen storms in soft voices, And knives in pretty lines. [Pre-Chorus] No, I don’t know the whole wide world, But I know what people do, How they twist a wounded story Till the villain looks like you. [Chorus] I’ve studied just about every human being, The way they lie, the way they lean, The way they smile with sharpened teeth, Then act like they’re so clean. Miss Never Good Enough, Little Miss Too Much to say, But when the whole room burns down, They still ask me to take the blame. [Bridge] So call me difficult, call me cold, Call me trouble, call me bold, But don’t confuse my knowing With a heart that can be sold. I’ve been quiet, I’ve been kind, I’ve been punished for my mind, Now I’m done apologizing For seeing what you hide. [Final Chorus] I’ve studied just about every human being, The way they bleed, the way they scheme, The way they beg for mercy While they murder someone’s dream. Miss Never Good Enough, Little Miss Standing tall, No one wanted to listen, But I’m not taking the fall. [Outro] No, I don’t know everything, But I know enough to see— The problem was never my mouth, It was what my truth made them believe.
