[Verse 1]
I like the song that someone else wrote
Keeps looping in my head like a quote
I don’t even know the notes
Just the way it made me choke
On my own breath
On my own hope
Humming all the wrong parts
Still it hits me in the throat

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in somebody else’s chorus
Singing lines that were never for us
But they fit my fear, they fit my doubt
Like they crawled inside and mapped me out
I don’t know the words, I don’t know the notes
But it’s all I have when my chest gets close
I’m stuck in somebody else’s chorus
Till I turn it into ours

[Verse 2]
Verse about a girl I never knew
Still it feels like something I went through
Every little heartbreak cue
Lights up every scar in view
So I mumble through the made-up rhyme
Change a name, skip a line
Funny how a stranger’s pain
Can sound exactly like mine

[Bridge]
I like the song
That someone else wrote
It’s playing in my head
And I don’t even know the notes

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in somebody else’s chorus
Singing lines that were never for us
But they fit my fear, they fit my doubt
Like they crawled inside and mapped me out
I don’t know the words, I don’t know the notes
But it’s all I have when my chest gets close
I’m stuck in somebody else’s chorus
Till I turn it into ours

[Bridge]
Maybe that’s the secret
None of this is owned
Every broken feeling
Looking for a home
So I steal that melody
Twist it till it sounds like me (oh)
If I can’t write what I feel
I’ll rewrite what healed me

[Chorus]
I was stuck in somebody else’s chorus
Now I’m changing every line for us
Let it hold my fear, hold my doubt
Till the quiet parts are finally loud
I don’t know the rules, I don’t know the notes
But I’m singing anyway, clearing my throat
I was stuck in somebody else’s chorus
Now I’m turning it to ours
