Verse 1]
It never feels quite like the truth
More like a rumor, wild and loose
And when I look myself in the eye
I’m a senseless crime with no reason why
---
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m here but I don’t belong
A half-heard verse in a half-read song
One moment needed, next I’m wrong
Like a rumor that moves along
---
[Verse 2]
If I stay or if I go
Does the river stop? Does the wind not blow?
Once I think I matter, then ten times more
I’m a nothing-knocking at a closing door
---
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m here but I don’t belong
A half-heard verse in a half-read song
One moment needed, next I’m wrong
Like a rumor that moves along
---
[Verse 3]
Given for free, no one asked me to speak
Just time that passed – broken, weak
Even if it helped, who would ever know?
Cheap advice with no place to go
---
[Verse 4]
It keeps watching but never sees
Quenches a thirst but the mind won’t ease
Madly in love, then bored by noon
A restless glance that leaves too soon
---
[Bridge]
I only talk when silence breaks
Because I know nothing – that’s all it takes
I show the way with a wandering pride
But deep down, I’m the one who slipped and died inside
---
[Chorus – softer then building]
Oh, I’m here but I don’t belong
A half-heard verse in a half-read song
One moment needed, next I’m wrong
Like a rumor that moves along
---
[Outro – spoken or sung softly]
It never feels quite like the truth…
Just a rumor…
Just a rumor…
And a needless crime, in a silent booth.
