Headlines (They Don't Know)

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Chorus

They don't know a thing about me

Headlines scream but they can't see

Made up stories from the shadows

Tabloid love and bulletproof sorrow

Post-Chorus

Tell me who you gonna blame now

Who you gonna blame now

Verse 1

Saw my face on a magazine rack

Somebody's version of facts

Painted me a monster they knew

Never met me but they knew the truth

Fingers typed and cameras flashed

One more lie and the record's trashed

Pre-Chorus

I'm not who they say I am

Not the villain in their plan

Chorus

They don't know a thing about me

Headlines scream but they can't see

Made up stories from the shadows

Tabloid love and bulletproof sorrow

Post-Chorus

Tell me who you gonna blame now

Who you gonna blame now

Bridge

Read between the lies they sell

Lost in ink and wishing wells

Paper burns but the smoke remains

Whispers dressed as truth and chains

Verse 2

Tried to build me up to break me down

Turned my name into a circus town

Smile for the camera, wave goodbye

They don't see the tears behind my eyes

Every headline cuts a little deep

Secrets that the public gets to keep

Pre-Chorus

I'm not who they say I am

Not the villain in their plan

Chorus

They don't know a thing about me

Headlines scream but they can't see

Made up stories from the shadows

Tabloid love and bulletproof sorrow

Post-Chorus

Tell me who you gonna blame now

Who you gonna blame now

Outro

Mm

They don't know

Mm

They won't ever know
