I Heard a Rumour
Broken Hearts and Second Chances: Unraveling the Rumour
Lyrics
Who needs friends who never show?
Expressing dissatisfaction with friends who are unreliable and don't appear when needed.
I'll tell you what you wanna know
Willing to provide information or answer questions.
I could have saved a broken heart
Reflecting on the possibility of avoiding heartbreak if aware of certain information earlier.
If I'd found out long ago
Regret over not discovering crucial information sooner to prevent heartbreak.
I'm just thinking about those lonely nights
Recalling lonely nights while waiting for a call.
When I waited on your call
Referencing a period of anticipation for a call that never came.
'Till found out all my friends were right (Ooh)
Realization that friends were correct in their warnings about the person.
I didn't know you at all
Admitting lack of knowledge about the person in question.
I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)
Acknowledging the reception of a rumor.
They say you've got a broken heart (I heard it)
Confirming the rumor about the person having a broken heart.
I heard a rumour (Ooh-ooh, I heard a rumour)
Reiteration of hearing a rumor.
Yes, I did boy, ooh-ooh
Affirmation of hearing a rumor and expressing surprise or disappointment.
Now it seems they're telling me
Being informed that the person has supposedly changed their behavior.
You've changed your wicked ways
Contemplating whether to grant a second chance despite suspicions.
But should I give you a second chance?
Expressing fear or hesitation about giving another chance.
Baby, I'm too afraid
Acknowledging the pain caused and the love that was discarded.
So you realize what hurt you made
Recognition of the impact of the person's actions.
And the love you threw away
Reflecting on the challenge of forgiving and forgetting.
How can I forgive or soon forget?
Expressing the impossibility of returning to the way things were.
It's never gonna be the same
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the situation.
