Lyrics
[verse]
She was standing by the stage light after the show
Said she needed me but I don't think she'd know
A face in every crowd that I don't recognize
Now she's telling stories dressed up as the truth in disguise
[verse]
She swears the child she carries wears my name
But the nights she speaks of, I can't find the same
I walked another road, I kept my word
This ain't my burden, no matter what she's heard
[chorus]
Denia, Denia, the story's not the truth
Denia, Denia, I never was her proof
She says I'm the reason, but the reason's not in me
Denia, Denia, that's not how it's gonna be
[verse]
The papers want a headline, the crowd wants somewhere to look
They'll believe the rumor faster than they'll read the book
But I know where I stood and I know what I refused
A name can carry weight when it's wrongly used
[chorus]
Denia, Denia, the story's not the truth
Denia, Denia, I never was her proof
She says I'm the reason, but the reason's not in me
Denia, Denia, that's not how it's gonna be
[bridge]
Strings are rising like a courtroom hush
Every eye is waiting for the rush
But a lie repeated doesn't turn to fact
I won't carry weight for someone else's act
[chorus]
Denia, Denia, the story's not the truth
Denia, Denia, I never was her proof
She says I'm the reason, but the reason's not in me
Denia, Denia, that's not how it's gonna be
[chorus]
Denia, Denia, the story's not the truth
Denia, Denia, I never was her proof
