Lying on my name

Don’t go lying on my name
because you can’t get your story straight,
You twist the truth around
to hide the parts of you I hate.
I gave you all I had,
you only gave me what was fake,
Now you’re telling everyone
I’m the one who made you break.
You talk like you were clean,
like you never caused me pain,
But every word you spread
is just you running from your shame.
I tried to love you right,
I held on even when it hurt,
But you kept choosing lies
and dragging my name through the dirt.
So tell your little tale
if that’s what helps you sleep at night,
But truth will catch you soon
when you’re alone without a light.
Don’t go lying on my name
to wash your guilty mind of blame,
I’m done carrying the weight
of every mess you never claim.
Say whatever helps you cope,
I won’t bend beneath your hate,
But don’t go lying on my name
because you can’t get your story straight.
I’m stronger than your words,
I won’t break the way you planned,
Your rumors fall apart
the second truth begins to stand.
So keep your twisted tales,
I’m walking from the weight you made,
But don’t go lying on my name
just to cover up the mess you laid.
