Rumors

I heard them talking bout me
The other day
It spread like a disease
They wrapped in flames
I tried to conquer belief
Before they came
The whispers on the streets, the echoes of my name

They didn't have to tell me
What they would say
I could feel on my skin
I could feel it in my veins
Every dirty look
and every piece of blame
Burning at the stake
Round the rumors all the same

Rumors rumors rumors be flying around town
I can't keep it together
Without breaking me down
I keep my guard up high
So they won't ever find
The truth between the lies
The fear beneath my eyes

I'll let the rumors free
I'll let the rumors speak
I'll let the rumors bleed
No they won't ever see

I'll let the rumors free
I'll let the rumors speak
I'll let the rumors bleed
Could you be loving me

With these rumors
Rumors, rumors
These rumors,
Rumors, rumors

I had to break myself free
Of every cage
I needed holy release
From all the pain
Another shot of your whiskey
Down the drain
Of my lungs as I
Burned all of the hurt, all of the chains

I joined the enemy's team
To play their game
As crazy as it seems, I poured
fuel to my own flames
Hiding in disguise in a
Smoke and mirror maze
I drove them off the trail
Laid everything to waste

Rumors rumors rumors be flying around town
I can't keep it together
Without breaking me down
I keep my guard up high
So they won't ever find
The truth between the lies
The fear beneath my eyes

I'll let the rumors free
I'll let the rumors speak
I'll let the rumors bleed
No they won't ever see

I'll let the rumors free
I'll let the rumors speak
I'll let the rumors bleed
Could you be loving me

With these rumors
Rumors, rumors
These rumors
Rumors, rumors

And I'll bet you think you know it all
(You know it all)
My secrets have secrets you never saw
(You never saw)
One day I'll pay the price of endless disguise
No turning back, sold my soul in the night

So I'll let them keep talking, keep talking
I'll let them keep stalking, keep stalking
I'll let them keep mocking, keep mocking
I'll let them keep chopping, keep chopping

I'll let them keep talking, keep talking
I'll let them keep stalking, keep stalking
I'll let them keep mocking, keep mocking
I'll just keep shocking

Rumors rumors rumors be flying around town
I can't keep it together
Without breaking me down
I keep my guard up high
So they won't ever find
The truth between the lies
The fear beneath my eyes

I'll let the rumors free
I'll let the rumors speak
I'll let the rumors bleed
No they won't ever see

I'll let the rumors free
I'll let the rumors speak
I'll let the rumors bleed
Could you be loving me

With these rumors
Rumors, rumors
These rumors,
Rumors, rumors
