[Intro] Yeah... You want the truth? Here it is. I kept the stars in my pocket and lies in my teeth. [Verse 1] I said I’d call back, I didn’t. Phone face-down like a threat. Had two good reasons, both rotten, one was pride, one was debt. I smiled in your face, all crooked, like I knew what I was worth. I built a shrine out of blame and then I prayed it’d work. Funny thing, I’m the hero when I tell it in my head. In the daylight, I’m a scratch mark on the side of your bed. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask me twice. I’ll change the name. I’ll blur the room. I’ll swap the blame. [Chorus] I did not do it (yes you did) I did not do it (look at this) I kept it clean in a filthy hand I did not do it (but you planned) [Verse 2] I lost my cool at your message, spun it like a tragic art. Called it “boundaries” when it was just a flare in the dark. I laughed too loud at the damage, like a joke with a broken jaw. Every alibi I handed out had my fingerprints on all. Now I’m standing in the wreckage with my mouth full of smoke. Trying to sell you a pardon with a knife in my coat. [Pre-Chorus] Don’t ask me twice. I’ll change the name. I’ll blur the room. I’ll swap the blame. [Chorus] I did not do it (yes you did) I did not do it (look at this) I kept it clean in a filthy hand I did not do it (but you planned) [Bridge] Maybe I’m the punchline that keeps begging to be seen. Maybe I’m the reason every mirror looks mean. Cut it. Restart it. Run it back again. Same old face, same old story, same old lie I sell as sin. [Final Chorus] I did not do it (yes you did) I did not do it (look at this) I kept it clean in a filthy hand I did not do it (but you planned) I did not do it (yeah, right) I did not do it (all night) I’m the saint of excuses, the king of the sand I did not do it (but you planned)
