[Intro — Spoken / Glitch] Yeah... Funny how a whisper turns into a sentence. One story. One lie. Whole life on trial. [Verse 1] Shadow on my back, but it ain't my crime, Heavy on my chest, but I ain't done time. Clean heart, dirty story, someone's twisting the frame, Put a weight on my name, now I'm wearing the blame. Wait— Hold up. Who said that? Where's the proof? Everybody got a version, Nobody got the truth. One little whisper went round that town, By the time it came back, I was already down. Hope went green, then the whole thing grey, Caught in a fake little picture they painted my way. [Pre-Hook] I said, “Nah, that's not me.” They said, “Maybe it is.” That's the madness of doubt— When the lie sounds big. [Hook] Time tells all, let the truth breathe, Cut through the smoke, let the doubt leave. I took that pain, made it part of my soul, Now I'm breaking every chain they put on hold. No guilt— That ain't mine. No shame— That ain't mine. If love sees clear through the haze, Then I'm leaving that weight behind. [Verse 2 — Double-Time] Late nights, replaying every word in my head, Could've lost myself over things they said. Questioning my heart, questioning my name, When you're innocent, why you feeling the shame? I walked through the fire with my hands tied back, Every step forward, another step back. But time got patient, started pulling the thread, Truth came knocking while the rumours played dead. Now I see it— Clearer. No fear— Nearer. What I thought was a permanent scar Was a lesson getting deeper. [Beat Switch — Half-Time] No revenge. No war. No need to settle scores. Some things disappear When you stop feeding them more. I don't hate you. I don't blame you. I just finally understand— A broken story can break a heart, But it can't rewrite who I am. [Final Hook] Time tells all, let the truth breathe, Cut through the smoke, let the doubt leave. I took that pain, made it part of my soul, Now I'm breaking every chain they put on hold. No guilt— That ain't mine. No shame— That ain't mine. Love clears the haze, And I'm leaving that weight behind. [Outro — Spoken] Some scars don't disappear. They just stop controlling you. Truth takes time... But it stays.
