Maybe I shouldn’t walk out on you
I confess I been restless a time or two
Baby I left it up to you, and it sure looks like we’re through
But I was lookin’ for someone, baby, whom I met you
Ain’t it strange, all the things that people say
And ain’t it a shame we got to go our separate ways
But if someone’s got to leave, well baby, that’s alright with me
It brings me no joy but it damned sure helps the pain
Now I’m damned tired of stories and rumors and lies
Hear ’em everywhere, I got no place to hide
Any dang fool can see, that all the things that i believed
Ain’t nothin’, yeah, but stories, rumors and lies
There was a time when you knew just what to do
Now you looking confused, like the whole world’s turned on you
Baby I been keeping you up, and you been letting me down
I just hope you can remember to run when you hit the ground.
‘Cause I’m damned tired of stories and rumors and lies
While I was putting you up you was cutting me down to size
Any dang fool can see, all the things that i believed
Ain’t nothing yeah, but stories, rumors and lies
Well I’m too damned tired and too fucked up to go
I’ve had too much wine and too many mornings alone
Things just ain’t according to plan, and I’ve stood all that I can stand
So I’m gonna sit right here, and watch you go
‘Cause I’m damned tired of stories and rumors and lies
While I was putting you up you was cutting me down to size
Maybe I been a bit blind, but now I seen it with my own two eyes,
Ain’t nothing yeah, but stories, rumors and lies
