OFF THE RECORD 🎙

Keep my name out your mouth if you don't know the story You saw one little moment, now you're acting like you know me Everybody wants the answer, everybody wants the details But I don't owe the world a backstage pass Shhh... keep it off the record Don't turn my silence into something you invented Shhh... keep it off the record What I don't say doesn't mean you get to guess it I can walk into a room and leave without a trace Smile for the camera, still keep something in my space Not every thought needs a microphone Not every feeling needs to be known You can wonder, you can wonder But you don't get to write my story You can wonder, you can wonder I'm not giving you the ending before me Some doors stay closed Some words stay mine If I don't say it Don't fill in the lines Off, off, off the record Off, off, don't forget it Off, off, off the record What you don't know isn't yours to edit No explanation, no invitation I choose what gets a conversation You want the truth? Here's a little correction My life isn't public information Shhh... keep it off the record Some things are better when they're left protected Shhh... keep it off the record You don't need to know everything to respect it
