歌词
Verse 1)
I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL TODAY,
SOMETHING ‘BOUT A STORY THAT WON’T FADE AWAY,
IT HIT ME LIKE A STORM, KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET,
THE KIND OF NEWS THAT MAKES YOUR HEART SKIP A BEAT.
WHISPERS IN THE WIND, SOMETHING'S GOIN' DOWN,
YOU CAN HEAR IT IN THE SILENCE OF THIS TOWN,
EVERYONE'S TALKIN', CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TRUE,
I GOT THE NEWS, NOW WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
(Chorus)
I GOT THE NEWS, IT’S A BITTERSWEET CALL,
STANDING ON THE EDGE, ABOUT TO FALL,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND IT TURNED ME AROUND,
UP IS DOWN AND THE SKY IS GROUND.
I GOT THE NEWS, CAN’T UNSEE WHAT I’VE SEEN,
LIFE AIN’T EVER GONNA BE WHAT IT’S BEEN,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND IT CUTS SO DEEP,
IT’S THE KIND OF SECRET YOU CAN'T KEEP.
(Verse 2)
IT WAS A WHISPER AT FIRST, THEN A SHOUT IN MY MIND,
TRUTH AND LIES GOT SO ENTWINED,
TRIED TO RUN FROM IT, BUT IT FOLLOWED ME HOME,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND NOW I FEEL SO ALONE.
IT’S A BURDEN TO CARRY, A CROSS TO BEAR,
CHANGES EVERYTHING, AND YOU WON’T BE SPARED,
THE WORLD SPINS ‘ROUND, BUT I’M STUCK IN PLACE,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND I CAN’T FACE.
(Chorus)
I GOT THE NEWS, IT’S A BITTERSWEET CALL,
STANDING ON THE EDGE, ABOUT TO FALL,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND IT TURNED ME AROUND,
UP IS DOWN AND THE SKY IS GROUND.
I GOT THE NEWS, CAN’T UNSEE WHAT I’VE SEEN,
LIFE AIN’T EVER GONNA BE WHAT IT’S BEEN,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND IT CUTS SO DEEP,
IT’S THE KIND OF SECRET YOU CAN'T KEEP.
(Bridge)
I’M TRYIN’ TO MAKE SENSE, BUT IT DON’T ADD UP,
EVERY LITTLE WORD’S LIKE A BITTER CUP,
DROWNING IN THE TRUTH, CAN’T FIND THE SHORE,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND I CAN’T TAKE ANYMORE.
(Chorus)
I GOT THE NEWS, IT’S A BITTERSWEET CALL,
STANDING ON THE EDGE, ABOUT TO FALL,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND IT TURNED ME AROUND,
UP IS DOWN AND THE SKY IS GROUND.
I GOT THE NEWS, CAN’T UNSEE WHAT I’VE SEEN,
LIFE AIN’T EVER GONNA BE WHAT IT’S BEEN,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND IT CUTS SO DEEP,
IT’S THE KIND OF SECRET YOU CAN'T KEEP.
(Outro)
NOW I'M STANDING HERE, CAUGHT IN BETWEEN,
THE LIFE I HAD AND WHAT COULD'VE BEEN,
I GOT THE NEWS, AND IT'S BREAKIN' MY HEART,
NOTHIN' WILL EVER BE THE SAME, NOW THAT WE’RE APART.
