Paper Trail Crown
by Elana H
Lyrics
Verse 1
You pointed hard at me
Like I built your mess
Left me in the dark
With your dirty little press
Now every lie you wore
Falls off in the rain
I kept my hands clean
You kept my fingerprints in shame
Pre-Chorus
Oh, you set the fire
Then you called my name
Oh, you made the smoke
Then you blamed my face
I was holding truth
You were holding blame
Now the room goes quiet
When I say it plain
Chorus
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
You wrote that story
Now read it back
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
Watch your own shadow
Fall through the cracks
(Oh)
You wanted my ruin
But I still stand
(Oh)
You threw the stone
Now it’s in your hand
Verse 2
You smiled so sweet
While you twisted the knife
Sold my name around
Like a cut-up life
But the floor still knows
Where the truth was laid
And the walls repeat
Every word you made
Pre-Chorus
Oh, you set the fire
Then you called my name
Oh, you made the smoke
Then you blamed my face
I was holding truth
You were holding blame
Now the room goes quiet
When I say it plain
Chorus
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
You wrote that story
Now read it back
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
Watch your own shadow
Fall through the cracks
(Oh)
You wanted my ruin
But I still stand
(Oh)
You threw the stone
Now it’s in your hand
Bridge
Female Vocal Solo
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
You can’t wash me off
From what you made
You can’t call me guilty
To hide your shame
Guitar Solo
Instrumental Break
Bridge
I kept my nerve
When you sold your fear
Now every false word
Just disappears
Say my name again
With that crooked grin
I'll let the truth
Come shining in
Chorus
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
You wrote that story
Now read it back
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
Watch your own shadow
Fall through the cracks
(Oh)
You wanted my ruin
But I still stand
(Oh)
You threw the stone
Now it’s in your hand
Final Chorus
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
Louder than lies
My voice comes back
I didn't do it
I didn't do it
Your own words burn
On the paper trail
(Oh)
You wanted my ruin
But I still stand
(High note)
You threw the stone
Now it’s in your hand
