Shhh, but can you keep a secret |
|
Are you the type of person who holds it in for five minutes before you release it |
|
You're nothing more then a hypocrite |
|
You talk too much gossip, now how long can you live with it |
|
You see I've had it up to here with all this nonsense |
|
You started the rumors but |
|
I'm the one payin' the consequence |
|
From your breath to the next breath |
|
From one desk to the next desk |
|
All of this office talk is leaving me stressed |
|
I'm tryin' to start a new life and turn over a new leaf |
|
But you're the cause of my pain, the cause of my grief |
|
I'm lookin' for payback but two wrongs don't make it better |
|
Congratulations, you're the world's greatest storyteller |
|
ChorusThis is how it is |
|
On the wrong side of the tracks |
|
Does it really have to be' |
|
Cause you're not ready to fight back |
|
This is how it is |
|
See this world is not enough |
|
Does it really have to be |
|
When I keep tellin' you people to hush |
|
I keep tellin' you people to hush 'cause |
|
I can't trust you |
|
There's six million stories to tell, now which one's about you |
|
You see I watch these rumors spread like flies in the nighttime |
|
All this gossip keeps eating away at my lifeline |
|
Keep tellin' stories 'cause nobody really wants you |
|
Tell a lie and watch the truth come back to haunt you |
|
I take a look around and all |
|
I see is your promise being broken |
|
I guess kindness leaves you open |
|
I wish I could fly away from everything you say and do |
|
I wish that |
|
I can run away from you |
|
You people need to find something better to talk about |
|
You people need to be quiet and keep my name out of your mouth |
|
ChorusThis is how it is |
|
On the wrong side of the tracks |
|
Does it really have to be |
|
You keep talking behind my back |
|
You people never change |
|
I'm the only one |
|
I trustSo stop talkin' about me |
|
When I keep tellin' you people to hush |
|
BridgeI was told first hand, never word of mouth (8X) |
