LYRICS:

You told me stories about somebody
Said they were cold, said they were heartless
Every word sounded honest
So I let your truth become my truth

I carried shadows I never witnessed
Built up a picture I never saw
Painted a villain in my mind
From rumors drifting through the dark

But every whisper has two sides
And every fire needs a spark
Funny how we choose a side
Before we ever hear a heart

How did I learn to hate somebody
Who never laid a hand on me
All from a story told softly
Like it was honesty

Now I see how the story goes
Truth bends in the hands that hold it
And the same lips that warned me close
Are whispering mine when I'm not around

Now you're the villain in someone else's
Different room, same conversation
Different name in the accusation
But the rhythm sounds the same

And I remember what you told me
About the one I turned away
Now I'm wondering if somewhere
That's the way you say my name

Every whisper has two sides
Every blame just shifts its weight
And we're building little wars
From the rumors that we trade

How did I learn to hate somebody
Who never laid a hand on me
All from a story told softly
Like it was honesty

Now I see how the story goes
Truth bends in the hands that hold it
And the same lips that warned me close
Are whispering mine when I'm not around

Maybe we're all just mirrors
Breaking in different light
Passing around our anger
Like it makes us right

But hate is such a heavy thing
To carry for somebody else's pain

I won't learn to hate somebody
Just because you say their name
I've seen how stories travel
Changing every mile they came

And if I judge a heart I never knew
I'm only losing pieces of my own truth
