Say What You Heard

She tells a different lie to everyone she knows, so when they gossip, they clash. A playful, sly anthem about control, chaos, and keeping the upper hand with a wink and a beat.

VERSE AND CHORUS

Song Lyrics

I told Kelly I was born in Spain
Told Marie I don’t fly on planes
Gave Jade a name I never use
And told her I once dated Tom Cruise (oops)

Said to Max I’m vegan now
But I had steak with Dave downtown
Told Jen I’m secretly a twin
Said I can’t swim, but I dive right in

Now they’re buzzin’ like a hive
Tryna piece together my life
But I left breadcrumbs in the dark
And lit ‘em up like a question mark

Say what you heard, it’s all a blur
I’m the spark that makes the gossip burn
Whatcha gonna do when the truth don’t stick?
Pointin’ fingers while I vanish quick

Say what you heard, but don’t you fight
You’re all wrong, and maybe right
You got my name in your pretty little mouth
But I wrote the script you’re twistin’ out

I told Marcus I can read your mind
Told his girl I do it all the time
Told Nick I hate the color red
Then showed up in a fire-red dress instead

Said I’m broke with a private jet
Told my boss I don’t use the Net
Every version, a different me
So many mirrors, who can see?

Now they’re sittin’ in a circle tight
Comparin’ notes on what’s not right
But I gave ‘em each a magic piece
And they can’t solve what I released

Say what you heard, it’s all a game
I’m the girl with a dozen names
Whatcha gonna do when the puzzle’s fake?
They’re pullin’ threads I never made

Say what you heard, just don’t assume
The truth’s been buried in ten costumes
Keep tryin’ to catch what’s never there
But I’m the echo in your little stare

Little lie here, little fib there
Now they’re fightin’ over thin air
Truth is soft and lies are loud
And I’m the queen of this confused crowd

Say what you heard, just say it twice
Whisper sweet in sugar and spice
Whatcha gonna do when your tale turns blue?
I’m the myth that’s haunting you

Say what you heard, now scream and shout
Fight it out while I bounce out
Your drama’s cute, but I won the night
Wrote your story and dimmed the light

All rumors bloom, but I just sway
Say what you heard, then fade away…
