Intro

Farewell. Bye bye. The sorry look in your eye,

 It doesn't mean a thing.

 So long, we shared beds now it comes to an end

 With such a saddened eye.

Chorus

I've heard stories, ugly stories which no one can deny

They were true. They were true

While I was away, you were working every day or so it seemed.

 Phone calls, regrets, everyone placed bets on odds I wouldn't see.

Chorus

I've heard stories, ugly stories that no one can deny

I've heard stories, ugly stories that no one can deny

 They were true

They were true

They were true

Bridge

Believe in your doubts

 Be cause I found out

 You can never

Trust in anyone

And here in the South

I call you out

 You can never

trust in anyone.

 At least not for long

Next time you're in town

Don't bother coming around

 You're not welcome anymore.

Unfair, so unkind,

To have wasted my time

 On such a silly dream

Chorus

I've heard stories, ugly stories that no one can deny

I've heard stories, ugly stories that no one can deny

 They were true

They were true

They were true
