Not to Hand You Me

[Verse 1]
You ask me how I took the blame
While every mouth repeats your frame
You called it truth, then changed the tale
And watched the room turn like a gale
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the dates, I kept the words
I know exactly what I heard
[Chorus]
You want a reaction you can point to
A breaking voice to make me look wrong
But I won't carry what you made up
Or play the part you've passed along
Say what you will, I know what happened
I don't need your crowd to agree
You asked what all this did to me—
It taught me not to hand you me
[Verse 2]
You gather friends to close the door
Then ask why I don't trust you more
You need a nod from every face
To feel your story has a place
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't be quiet just to fit
Your version isn't all of it
[Chorus]
You want a reaction you can point to
A breaking voice to make me look wrong
But I won't carry what you made up
Or play the part you've passed along
Say what you will, I know what happened
I don't need your crowd to agree
You asked what all this did to me—
It taught me not to hand you me
[Bridge]
I can be hurt and still be certain
I can step back and name the lie
No borrowed verdict gets to own me
No chorus makes the falsehood right
[Final Chorus]
You want a reaction you can point to
A breaking voice to make me look wrong
But I won't carry what you made up
Or play the part you've passed along
Say what you will, I know what happened
I don't need your crowd to agree
You asked what all this did to me—
It taught me not to hand you me
[Outro]
I know what happened
I won't hand you me
You ask me how I took the blame
While every mouth repeats your frame
You called it truth, then changed the tale
And watched the room turn like a gale
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept the dates, I kept the words
I know exactly what I heard
[Chorus]
You want a reaction you can point to
A breaking voice to make me look wrong
But I won't carry what you made up
Or play the part you've passed along
Say what you will, I know what happened
I don't need your crowd to agree
You asked what all this did to me—
It taught me not to hand you me
[Verse 2]
You gather friends to close the door
Then ask why I don't trust you more
You need a nod from every face
To feel your story has a place
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't be quiet just to fit
Your version isn't all of it
[Chorus]
You want a reaction you can point to
A breaking voice to make me look wrong
But I won't carry what you made up
Or play the part you've passed along
Say what you will, I know what happened
I don't need your crowd to agree
You asked what all this did to me—
It taught me not to hand you me
[Bridge]
I can be hurt and still be certain
I can step back and name the lie
No borrowed verdict gets to own me
No chorus makes the falsehood right
[Final Chorus]
You want a reaction you can point to
A breaking voice to make me look wrong
But I won't carry what you made up
Or play the part you've passed along
Say what you will, I know what happened
I don't need your crowd to agree
You asked what all this did to me—
It taught me not to hand you me
[Outro]
I know what happened
I won't hand you me
A zene stílusa
Tense alternative rock with a driving mid-tempo groove, palm-muted electric guitar in the verses opening into broad distorted chords at the chorus, punchy live drums and grounded bass. Close, controlled lead vocal builds from restrained frustration to forceful, clear-eyed delivery; keep the mix raw-edged and direct, with a brief stripped-down bridge before the final chorus.
