Verse 1
She showed up in the doorway
Like a storm I used to chase
With a half-smile full of danger
And a truth I couldn’t face
She said she knew my secrets
Said my past wasn’t clean
But her voice sounded rehearsed
Like she practiced every scene
⸻
Pre-Hook
She talks like she owns the memories
But she wasn’t even there
She paints herself into my story
But the pages come up bare
⸻
Hook
Now there’s a rumor that knows my name
Running wild like gasoline in flame
Spreading fast but built on nothing
But the lie she’s still becoming
Yeah, the past keeps knocking just to play its game
With a rumor that knows my name
⸻
Verse 2
She whispers like it’s holy
But her gospel’s made of smoke
People love a good disaster
More than promises I spoke
I’ve outrun a thousand shadows
But this one learned my step
She don’t want apology
Just attention and regret
⸻
Pre-Hook
Funny how the quiet moments
Become loud in someone’s mouth
How a story gets rewritten
When the truth runs out
⸻
Hook
Now there’s a rumor that knows my name
Running wild like gasoline in flame
Spreading fast but built on nothing
But the lie she’s still becoming
Yeah, the past keeps knocking just to play its game
With a rumor that knows my name
⸻
Bridge
Let them talk in empty circles
Let them echo what they heard
I’ll stay busy building future
While they gossip second-hand words
’Cause a rumor dies in daylight
When the truth steps through the door
And I ain’t the man I was
Not anymore
⸻
Final Hook
Yeah, there’s a rumor that knows my name
But rumors drown when they can’t find shame
Let them gossip, let them spin it
My tomorrow’s got no limit
They can knock but they won’t ever see me break
From a rumor that knows my name
