Lyrics
[verse]
She was standing by the streetlight
Shadows dancing on her face
Told a story none could follow
Wrapped in mystery and lace
Said the boy was mine forever
Though I'd never touched her hand
Every word she spun that midnight
Turned the truth to shifting sand
[chorus]
It's not what it seems, no
Not the tale that's told
She's a stranger dressed in secrets
Chasing shadows, growing bold
It's not what it seems, no
I was never there
Just a name caught in her story
Spinning through the midnight air
[verse]
Cameras flash and rumors travel
Faster than the truth can run
One accusing finger pointed
Turns a hundred into one
I keep walking, never looking
Back at whispers on the street
'Cause a lie repeated loudly
Still can't make the story true
[chorus]
It's not what it seems, no
Not the tale that's told
She's a stranger dressed in secrets
Chasing shadows, growing bold
It's not what it seems, no
I was never there
Just a name caught in her story
Spinning through the midnight air
[bridge]
Careful what you claim in darkness
Careful what you swear is true
Every shadow casts a story
But the story isn't who I am to you
[chorus]
It's not what it seems, no
Not the tale that's told
She's a stranger dressed in secrets
Chasing shadows, growing bold
It's not what it seems, no
I was never there
Just a name caught in her story
Spinning through the midnight air
