Gossip Garden

Verse 1

Gossip garden grows again

Bitter blooms, their sharp words said

Just a smile when I drive by

My name used as a secret code

Cold glances, closed doors

Chorus

I see you watching, wishing

For my cracks to show someday

I hear you laughing louder

But I won't let it stain my name

Post-Chorus

Talk, talk, talk

Run, run, run

Verse 2

Innocent footsteps chased away

Kids caught in crossfire, not a clue

You circle wagons, whisper low

You leave out the light, then lock the gate

Hard hearts, half-truths

"Belonging" is just for a few

Chorus

I see you watching, wishing

For my cracks to show someday

I hear you laughing louder

But I won't let it stain my name

Post-Chorus

Talk, talk, talk

Run, run, run

Bridge

Maybe it's envy, maybe it's pain

I carry hope, I hold my own

Maybe it's lonely under your roof

Truth twisting tight behind closed rooms

Chorus

I see you watching, wishing

For my cracks to show someday

I hear you laughing louder

But I won't let it stain my name

Post-Chorus

Talk, talk, talk

Run, run, run

Outro

Smile, wave

Walk away
