Hang

I heard you got robbed last week

Did you know I got shot last night?

It's like dependency on a game called hearsay

You hear it said but did you hear it right?

So I was walking the bricks in my front yard

They're uneven and cracking with age

I made an attempt to arrange them perfectly

But when I got done they wouldn't fit into place

And I can't say when

I plan on giving up

I'm trying to think

Don't know when it will end

I heard a rumor you went on a trip

Did you know I just got back?

I had a chance to think while I was away

I pointed fingers of blame

Until they were pointing at me

So I rode my temper until I heard the water

But I hit a fence that was chained and barred

I looked and tried to find another way in

That's when I finally realized

That I'd been trying too hard
