Stories

I keep hearing
You're in trouble
And I start to wonder why
I hear the gossips,
Hear the stories
Hear them say, your time passed by

You're now even
Asking help
Asking me if I could stay
To help you clean
The mess they made
To let them know your life is ok

And every time it's the same story
People only want to talk about your shit
If the baggage that you carry ain't enough for them
Nothing keeps them from exaggerating a bit

Folks who say
that they're your friends
Often talk behind your back
They're pretending
They're just faking
It's only your mistakes they track

I've had friend just like that
Made more trouble
Than did good
Always asking never giving
I gave them far more
than I should

And every time it's the same story
People only want to talk about the shit
If the baggage that you carry ain't enough for them
Nothing keeps them from exaggerating a bit
