Story Behind The Song

the gossip is flying all over town what do I believe?

Song Description

everybody had a version to tell

Lyrics

(Verse 1)
Packed my bags with a heavy mind
Left the noise of the streets behind
Drove straight through the pouring rain
Swallowing down this rising pain
My phone was buzzing, the rumors flew
Whispers cutting right through and through
They painted pictures of a different life
Tried to twist us up like a rusting knife


(Pre-Chorus)
I was over livid when I first heard
My vision blurred, my spirit stirred
I couldn't accept this as the truth
Knowing all the history of me and you


(Chorus)
'Cause I came home to have a talk with you
I've been hearing things that I never knew
Not sure those are even your words
Or things you could have done
No, I won't believe the smoke without the fire
I won't let the gossip call us a liar
So before this breaks what we went through
There's one thing we must do
Clear the air, and you're the one


(Verse 2)
People love to watch a good thing break
They love to count the vows we didn't take
They don't know the late nights, the tears we cried
The sacred vows we keep locked inside
So I'm sitting right here, looking in your eyes
Putting down my armor, putting down my pride
I refuse to let a stranger's tongue
Undo the song that we haven't even sung


(Pre-Chorus)
I was over livid when I first heard
My vision blurred, my spirit stirred
I couldn't accept this as the truth
Knowing all the history of me and you


(Chorus)
'Cause I came home to have a talk with you
I've been hearing things that I never knew
Not sure those are even your words
Or things you could have done
No, I won't believe the smoke without the fire
I won't let the gossip call us a liar
So before this breaks what we went through
There's one thing we must do
Clear the air, and you're the one


(Bridge)
So tell me straight, look at my face
Was there a shadow in our hiding place?
Or is it just noise from the outside world
Trying to unravel the life we twirled?
I need your voice, I need your grace
To put the pieces back in their place...


(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Build)


(Chorus)
Yeah, I came home to have a talk with you
I've been hearing things that I never knew
Not sure those are even your words
Or things you could have done
No, I won't believe the smoke without the fire
I won't let the gossip call us a liar
So before this breaks what we went through
There's one thing we must do
Clear the air, and you're the one


(Outro)
Just you and me
Clear the air...
Tell me the truth, baby.
I'm listening.
You're the one.
