This Is Not My Song

Holden has got me caught
I never ask for advice
He’s got a way of forcin it on you
But my heart’s as cold as ice

And i will not entertain
Even an ounce of anger
I’m happy with all my borrowed words
I won’t ever return

And this is not my song
And these are not my words
I borrowed the guitar
And stole all the chords
And these are not my feelings
In fact they’re age old
I learned ‘em from a place
But mainly they’re stole
Stolen by me

Lord I’ve stolen a girl
But it’s like stealing a mountain
I’ve got no place to put it
And no hope to climb it

I cannot succeed
I cannot catch and release
I said ‘man, please take her back’
And he said
‘You’ve sown, now you will reap’

I found a true love
Surely she’s ideal
She was once my friends
But I made a steal
And she loves like a rock
And she’s heavy as a stone
But it’s better than drugs
And being alone

And this is not my song
And these are not my words
I borrowed the guitar
And stole all the chords
And these are not my feelings
In fact they’re age old
I learned ‘em from a place
But mainly they’re stole
Stolen by me.
