Lyrics
Instrumental Introduction
Ooooo woah woah oh
This is not my story to tell.
Verse1
Desire to be known
But the truth cannot be shown
Push it down
Where it won’t be found
This is not my story to tell
Toss it into the deepest well
Hide it under the hardest shell
Keep it where the traumas dwell
Chorus
It feels selfish to think
For it wasn’t me
Brought to the brink
whispered
(I wished it was me)
What I had to see
No one should
whispered
(Why wasn’t it me?)
There I stood
Hoping, waiting patiently
Whispered
(It should have been me)
Can never be
Let free
Kept in the family
Burned in my memory
Bridge
Flip the switch
Let the current flow
Which is which?
What do I know?
Who are you?
What am I?
You’ve no clue
Why I cry
Verse 2
This is a big part of who I am
Didn’t wither… didn’t break
I was strong… I never ran
Still the memories are hard to shake
I want to share
Maybe you would understand me
Can’t just forget I was there
Close my eyes… it’s all I see
But it wouldn’t be fair
Need to let it be
This is not my story to share
Someone please tell me
Why does it hurt to care?
Chorus
It feels selfish to think
For it wasn’t me
Brought to the brink
whispered
(I wished it was me)
What I had to see
No one should
whispered
(Why wasn’t it me?)
There I stood
Hoping, waiting patiently
Whispered
(It should have been me)
Can never be
Let free
Kept in the family
Burned in my memory
Bridge
Flip the switch
Let the current flow
Which is which?
What do I know?
Who are you?
What am I?
You’ve no clue
Why I cry
Reverb
This is not my story to tell
I can’t tell
Toss it into the deepest well
The deepest well
Hide it under the hardest shell
This hardened shell
Keep it where the traumas dwell
This is not my story to tell
Chorus
It feels selfish to think
For it wasn’t me
Brought to the brink
whispered
(I wished it was me)
What I had to see
No one should
whispered
(Why wasn’t it me?)
There I stood
Hoping, waiting patiently
Whispered
(It should have been me)
Can never be
Let free
Kept in the family
Burned in my memory

Flip the switch
Let the current flow
Which is which?

Who are you?
What am I?
You’ve no clue
Why I cry
Outro
This is not my story to tell
I can’t tell
Toss it into the deepest well
The deepest well
Hide it under the hardest shell
This hardened shell
Keep it where the traumas dwell
This is not my story to tell
Ooooo woah woah oh
This is not my story to tell.
Ooooo woah woah oh
Why does it hurt to care?

Outro
This is not my story to tell
I can’t tell
Toss it into the deepest well
The deepest well
Hide it under the hardest shell
This hardened shell
Keep it where the traumas dwell
This is not my story to tell
Ooooo woah woah oh
This is not my story to tell.
Ooooo woah woah oh
Why does it hurt to care?
