Hearsay
Colette Carr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember when we had never met
Not love not friends
Baby let's go back to that
I say we just go back to that
Pretend for fun love was meant to last
Till we begun trust is what we lead upon
Kiss goodbye cause now it's gone
Lying on a lie
It just goes on and on and on
Lying on a lie
It just goes on and on and on

Every little hearsay she say twist
Gotta put a mouth on it
Just a little hearsay they say shit
Honestly I'm down with it

Your just the same
Heard it all before
I'm not too blame
Open up your eyes
Your lies have beat on
Keeping the trust that you thought I cheated
Gave you the preview
Now here's the feature
Peace, gonna leave it was nice to meet ya

Lying on a lie
It just goes on and on and on

Every little hearsay she say twist
Gotta put a mouth on it
Just a little hearsay they say shit
Honestly I'm down with it
Every little hearsay she say twist
Gotta put a mouth on it
Just a little hearsay they say shit
Honestly I'm down with it

Not mad at it
Can't stand to sit
So I'm standing up to quit
Understanding it
Got the initials of the banana split
Go to much BS
I can handle it
He's inadequate
So had it
Hearsay she say false
Establish it
Should have liked you losing
Your the candidate
Honestly I'm standing down from it

Every little hearsay she say twist
Gotta put a mouth on it
Just a little hearsay they say shit
Honestly I'm down with it
Every little hearsay she say twist
Gotta put a mouth on it
Just a little hearsay they say shit
Honestly I'm down with it
Honestly I'm down with it
Gotta put a mouth on it




Every little hearsay they shit
Honestly I'm down with it

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of the lyrics to Colette Carr's song Hearsay is a reflection of a relationship that has already run its course. At the beginning, when the lovers were still new to each other, they enjoyed a beautiful phase characterized by innocence, passion, and curiosity. However, over time, the trust that the relationship was built upon eroded, leading to lies and eventual separation. The singer wishes they could go back to those early days and pretend that it would last, but the reality is that their love has come to an end, and they have to accept that.


The chorus of the song highlights the impact of rumors and hearsay on the relationship. The lyrics suggest that the gossip and lies that people spread about the couple contributed to the erosion of trust, and the frustration that came with it. The lines "Every little hearsay she say twist, gotta put a mouth on it, Just a little hearsay they say shit, honestly I'm down with it" demonstrate how the singer has come to accept that people will always talk, and it does not matter as long as she knows the truth.


The final stanza is a summary of the singer's decision to walk away from a relationship that no longer serves her. She acknowledges that staying in the relationship is doing her more harm than good, and the best thing is to leave. She quotes "Honestly I'm standing down from it" and "Honestly I'm down with it," indicating that she has finally found the courage to let go and move on.
