Hush

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
 This 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
 This 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
 This 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 trust
 So stop talkin' about me
 When I keep tellin' you people to hush
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 I was told first hand, never word of mouth
 This 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
