Gossip Land

I play the wicked part in all these stories
And people think they got me pinned
Someone is always talking out there for me
Cause everybody knows my name now
But nobody knows me yet
It’s such a blow to hear all the perceptions
Especially from my friend
If people paid a little more attention
Maybe they could get to know me
But nobody knows me yet
Cause when you look in my face
Do you only see the messes I make
Oh yeah, cause yesterday baby
That was such a different place
Living my life out in gossip land
Trying to be a better man
Washing all this dirt off my hand
Out here in gossip land
Running down the road in miles of moving
Rattling off my sins, it’s always where I’ve been not what I’m doing
Cause everybody knows my name now
But nobody knows me yet
Tongues will lash and lips can bruise
People only see the things that make them feel less accused
I play the wicked part in all these stories
Cause everybody knows my name now
But nobody knows me yet
