Honest use case: people who have felt erased from their own stories

lyrics

(around)

Somebody asked you how we met and you said "oh, around"
Four years in a single word and then you changed the subject
I was standing in the room and I did not make a sound
And everybody carried on and nobody objected

I made the calls, I found the room, I drove you to the man
And you thanked your mum and manager and never thanked the plan

Around, around, four years of me is "around"
You built a whole biography and left me on the ground
I don't want the credit and I don't want the applause
I want you to remember it was never yours, it's ours

I've got the emails, every one, and I won't use a line
Because using them makes it my crime instead of yours, not mine

Around, around, four years of me is "around"
You built a whole biography and left me on the ground
I don't want the credit and I don't want the applause
I want you to remember it was never yours, it's ours
