Rumours

They deceiving you
I build a bridge of trust, they drop a dud on it and yet i’m the one that’s
misleading you
I sat these people down with drinks in the courtroom just to ask them myself,
got a couple things I wanna read to you
'Cause I ain’t rising for this judge, I ain’t toasting to shit
He came into this situation unemployed, one-siding the conversation and reaping
too many benefits
He must’v seen you as the trophy 'cause he hat the fact that I possess you
The fact I know just who you are, they’ve seen that change in me, that ecstasy,
my friends are addicts so they just see you as treasure
But I could never put a price on the feeling I get when i’m pulling you in and
i’m gripping on to your waist as I lose myself in your mind, when i’m looking
down at your lips then I look you back in your eyes as I bring my hand to your
face now our souls fully intertwined but
Sadly there’s just things you don’t believe in
Like decent people or a laid back life or the fact that I could love you for
who you are without a reason
Maybe the reason’s less a reason and more a purpose
How you think I keep a smile on my face when them stories about us keep running
circles?
Flask-swigging and trash-talking is less a hobby and more a habit,
addiction to damage and building hurdles
It’s hurtful
'Cause i’m so giving to people in need, they trynna force me into putting their
problems before my own
Then they go to bite the hand that feeds them, heart of gold turns to heart of
stone, Arthur couldn’t pull this knife out for the throne
(I love you)
I know you say it and I believe but but I know doubts that you have from the
shit they say on the phone and despite the fact you believe me, you let the
stories they telling you become more than deception, they only want you alone
(Cut him off)
When I felt like a burden, I told you i’m yours forever but i’m not doing you
any favours by staying, I gave you a kiss goodbye, as you taste my tears in the
moment they stuck with you, you can’t pull your lips away from mine,
your heart is breaking
It’s hard to face it
If I love you then I let you go and you won’t realise you love me until i’m gone
Everything you wish you coulda said to me is a waste of breath and everything
that I wanted you to know is hidden in songs
Hidden in romance poems and coded conversation:
17/04, Bo Peep, no sleep, Heffey, golf tee, beaches, cold turkey, hold me,
lonely, need you, call me, hope we throw these laughable fables back in their
faces and live
If I had it my way, give you a kid, give you a ring, same time I want more than
typical things
Make something crazier out of this than the words they speak in the wind
So if Beaver’s talking, just know he’s committed all seven sins
I could drown out the words exchanged but of the two of us, i’m the one who
knows how to swim
He paddle back to the shore, I pick the paddle up and i serve, verb-stomping
him where it hurts
It’s never been in my nature to break somebody with words but if sights are
aiming at us then i’ll throw two stones at a bird
So after this record drop, all the shit they talk will be slurred and i’ll
carry a piece to puzzle 'em, solve my problems with murder
