Gossip - Blue Rodeo

I hear people talk

They say it’s a shame

And all your old friends call

They say you’re lost again

But I know how people like to talk

They just sit around all night and make stuff up

Nothing better to do than talk about broken hearts

And all the things that were said

The things that aren’t

The sadness and the sympathy

The love affairs, the enemies

The promises and deceits

Beauty and your cruelty

You made it all look so easy

Like you never had to try

Some might call this envy

Some like to see you fall once and a while

But I know how people like to talk

They just sit around all night and make stuff up

Nothing better to do than talk about broken hearts

And all the things that were said

The things that aren’t

The sadness and the sympathy

The love affairs the enemies

The promises and deceits

Your beauty and your cruelty
