Description
Breaking up is unpleasant, but it's even worse when it becomes local gossip. Every glance in the supermarket, every nod in the bar suddenly sounds like a verdict. Strangers have heard only half the story, and now they whisper your name as if it were a secret password.
It seems like the same city, the same familiar streets, but your steps feel foreign. Where your home used to be, there are now rumors. And all that's left is to decide: fight for what's yours or admit that “my” land has quietly become hers.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I never raised a hand, or ran around on you
So it was news to me when you and me turned into headline news
Expected dirty looks from your mama, your friends to talk that smack
But I thought the folks would have my back, south of these train tracks
You got 'em taking your side on my side of town
Looking at me like an outsider now
Like you buried my name, baby, six down
This breakup's kinda hard to live down
When they're taking your side on my side of town
My side of town
My side of town
What'd you tell the teller at the bank, or the fella at the bar?
Looking at me like an S.O.B.
Stretching that truth just a little too far
Grapevine's got a bad memory
If I remember right, that goodbye was a two-way street
Girl, shame on you for throwing shade on me
You got 'em taking your side on my side of town
Looking at me like an outsider now
Like you buried my name, baby, six down
This breakup's kinda hard to live down
When they're taking your side on my side of town
My side of town
Ooh, my side of town
Every shoulder I get is a cold one
Like your heart's the only broke one
Whatever lies you're selling, you sold 'em
Don't know what you told 'em
To get them taking your side on my side of town
Looking at me like an outsider now
Like you buried my name, baby, six down
This breakup's kinda hard to live down
When they're taking your side on my side of town
I was gonna die here, I'm on the fence now
And this breakup's kinda hard to live down
When they're taking your side on my side of town
My side of town
My side of town
My side of town, my side of town, my side of town
Ooh
Ooh
