This Is Not My Song lyrics
by Jesse Welles
[Verse 1]
Oh, Holden has got me caught
I never asked for advice
He's got a way of forcin' it on ya
But my heart's as cold as ice
And I will not entertain
Even an ounce of anger
I’m happy with all my borrowed words
I won’t ever return
[Chorus]
And this is not my song
And these are not my words
I borrowed the guitar
And stole all the chords
And these are not my feelings
In fact, they're age-old
Oh, I learned 'em from a place
But mainly they’re stole
Stolen by me
[Verse 2]
Oh, Lord I've stolen a girl
But it’s likе stealing a mountain
I’ve got no place to put it, no
And no hopе to climb it
I cannot succeed
I cannot catch and release
Oh, I said, "Man, please take her back"
And he said, "You’ve sown, now you will reap"
Oh, I found a true love
Surely she’s ideal
She was once my friend's
But I made a steal
And she loves like a rock
And she’s heavy as a stone, yeah
But it’s better than drugs
Oh, and being alone
[Chorus]
And this is not my song
And these are not my words
I borrowed the guitar
And stole all the chords
And these are not my feelings
In fact, they’re age-old
I learned 'em from a place
But mainly they’re stole
Stolen by me
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
