"You Didn't Hear It From Me" lyrics

That church pew on the back road keeps telling me, I'm saved
But I'm not safe from heartache, I just make it look that way
I bet it's getting back to you, I've buttoned up my mistakes
Clean shaved, these days, a little more room in the suitcase
They say I wiped my tears and I quit drinking every night
I ain't touched a drop from behind the bar under my eye

You didn't hear it from me
This old heart is breaking
They believe what they see
But I'm real good at faking
If it seems like I'm happy
Then it ain't what it seems
If they say they tell lies
And I had to come find, it finally set me free
You didn't hear it from me

Ironed out this shirt but there's still wrinkles from the past
I left some space in the dresser just in case you came back
(In case you came back)
If you heard that I found closure and I'm keeping my composure
You should know it's all just make believe

You didn't hear it from me
This old heart is breaking
They believe what they see
But I'm real good at faking
If it seems like I'm happy
Then it ain't what it seems
If they say they tell lies
And I had to come find, it finally set me free
You didn't hear it from me

Oh, you didn't hear it from me

They all got the versions of the man I've come to be
The only one that matters just ain't hearing it from me
(Hearing it from me)
I guess I shoulda told you but I never got the nerve
Baby, just don't believe in all the words you wish you heard

You didn't hear it from me
This old heart is breaking
They believe what they see
But I'm real good at faking
If it seems like I'm happy
Then it ain't what it seems
If they say they tell lies
And I had to come find, it finally set me free
You didn't hear it from me
You didn't hear it from me
