The Talk I’ve Heard
Music & Lyrics by Mark E. Wynne

You’re up, you’re down, and all ‘round town,
The word’s you like livin’ free.
You’re here, you’re there, and everywhere,
Surprised you haven’t met me.

I’ve overheard you’re more than words,
Could ever hope to describe.
You’re obvious, but yet I trust,
Some of the stories are lies.

But, the talk I’ve heard says you’ve passed the test.
The talk I’ve heard says you’re worth the mess.
The talk I’ve heard seems to indicate,
You revel in the twists, the twists of fate.

Be what you want to be.
Take what you want from me.
See who? Yeah, who you gonna see?
Won’t let it matter to me.
Oh no…

You’re past the phase to play the stages
From beginning to end.
You’re overdue to see it through.
Well, that’s the message you send.

It seems to some, you’ve overcome
It time and time and again.
You play your part, and from the start
You will decide where it ends.

But the talk I’ve heard says you’ve passed the test.
The talk I’ve heard says you’re worth the mess.
The talk I’ve heard seems to indicate,
You haven’t changed your taste, oh you taste so…

Oblivious to hope and trust.
Your history’s tainted at best.
You realize you’ve shattered lives
When they weren’t up to the test.

I’ve overheard you’re more than words
Could ever hope to describe.
You’re obvious, but yet I trust
Some of the stories are…
Some of the stories are…
Some of the stories are lies.
