[Verse 1]
You drew a map from a rumor
And marked my name in red
You never asked what happened
You just repeated what you read
I won’t carry your conclusion
Or answer for a tale I never told
You can keep the frame you made of me
I’m stepping out of it alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Your certainty is not my truth
Your story doesn’t make it so
[Chorus]
I’m not responsible for what you choose to believe
I won’t wear the blame for a lie you want to keep
You can point your finger, you can call me what you please
I know what I’ve done, and I know what I don’t owe you
I’m not responsible for what you choose to believe
[Verse 2]
You take a pause and call it guilt
A boundary becomes a sign
You fill the spaces with your guesses
Then swear the fault was mine
I’ve spent enough time explaining
To people set on being right
I won’t shrink to fit the story
You invented overnight
[Pre-Chorus]
Your certainty is not my truth
Your story doesn’t make it so
[Chorus]
I’m not responsible for what you choose to believe
I won’t wear the blame for a lie you want to keep
You can point your finger, you can call me what you please
I know what I’ve done, and I know what I don’t owe you
I’m not responsible for what you choose to believe
[Bridge]
Ask me, or let it go
There’s nothing left to prove
I can’t untangle every thought
You’ve decided must be true
I’m done defending empty air
Done begging to be seen
Your assumptions belong to you
They don’t belong to me
[Final Chorus]
I’m not responsible for what you choose to believe
I won’t wear the blame for a lie you want to keep
You can point your finger, you can call me what you please
I know what I’ve done, and I know what I don’t owe you
I’m not responsible for what you choose to believe
[Outro]
Your story’s yours to keep
Your story’s yours to keep
