Inked On My Papers lyrics

[Verse 1]
The things you said when I wasn't around
You thought I'd never find out, I know the sound
I saw your moves, I'm not blind to the dead
You thought you could hide it, I’m one step ahead
Does Aaliyah know that you can't stand her mom?
You thought it would stay calm, now it’s gone
I recall when she gave you that blues rock record
You kept it close like it was worth more than effort

[Pre-Chorus]
Now it’s all written in black and white
My golden years, and your lies in plain sight
Thought I wouldn’t see it, but I was right
You can’t hide behind your disguise tonight

[Chorus]
All your stories are inked on my pages
Every line, every word, your twisted stages
I can’t erase, but I'll let them fade
Your lies stay here, but I’ll turn the page

[Verse 2]
You kept lying, look, now it’s my friends’ turn
You thought we wouldn’t speak, now you’ll learn
They chose my truth, not your false deceit
Every word, every twist, your web’s complete
I watched it unravel, unbroke your broken rules
Nick laughed at your jokes, but I’m not a fool
Abby thought he had my trust, but he was wrong
Now I see through it all, and I’m finally strong
[Pre-Chorus]
There were things I never heard, out of earshot
But now they're clear as day, and you’re caught
I was caged in the dark, but I was near
Now your lies are the only thing you fear

[Chorus]
All your stories are inked on my pages
Every line, every word, your twisted stages
I can’t erase, but I’ll let them fade
Your lies stay here, but I’ll turn the page

[Bridge]
At the Cascade, we talked for the first time
You were fresh, but now it’s been a climb
It felt like a spark, a story in its prime
But now I see the distance, the cracks in the rhyme
You thought I’d stay, but I’m walking away
Now the truth’s revealed, and it’s clear as day

[Chorus]
All your stories are inked on my pages
Every line, every word, your twisted stages
I can’t erase, but I’ll let them fade
Your lies stay here, but I’ll turn the page
