Key: G G G Spoken: G Hey It's been a while since you saw my face G7 I haven't been doing so great So I took a little break G A lot of people are saying some things about me that aren't quite true D7 Doesn't matter if it's true though G Just as long as it's entertaining to you, right? You guys having fun? ♫ Chorus: G G7 All aboard the toxic gossip train C D7 Chugging down the tracks of misinformation G G7 The toxic gossip train C D7 You got a one way ticket to manipulation station G G7 Toxic gossip train C Cm Tie me to the tracks and harass me for my past G E7 Those rumors look like facts if you don't mind the gaps C D7 I won't survive in the crash but hey N.C. G At least you're havin' fun G Spoken: G Uh, hi everyone G I've been wanting to come online and talk to you about a few things G Um, even though my team has strongly advised me to not say what I want to say G I recently realized that they never said that I couldn't sing what I wanna say, so G Here I am, and, um, today I only wanna talk about the facts G So, I hope that you'll be willing to listen G Here we go G Many years ago, I used to message my fans G Uh, but not in a creepy way like a lot of you are trying to suggest G It was more of a loser kind of way G Where I was just trying to be besties with everybody G It was kinda like, uh when you go to like a family gathering, you know? G And there's a weird aunt there who keeps coming up to you and going like "Hey girl, what's the tea!" G And you're like "Ehhh" G Um, that was me, but in group chats with my fans, it was weird ♫ Verse 1: G I've been sharing my life online for over 15 years G I've poured my heart out to and because of that I feel C Like I'm talking to my friends, but, in the beginning of my career D7 I didn't really understand that maybe there should be some boundaries there C G There were times in the DMs when I would overshare D7 G Details of my life, which was really weird of me C G I haven't done that for years, you see D7 G Because I changed my behavior, and I took accountability Spoken: N.C. But that's not very interesting, is it? ♫ Chorus: G G7 So let's go on the toxic gossip train C D7 The locomotive's fueled with hateful accusations G G7 The toxic gossip train C D7 Steamroll over someone's reputation G G7 Toxic gossip train C Cm Hop on board, but close your eyes, otherwise you'll realize G E7 That the train is made of lies and that person you despise C D7 Maybe didn't deserve to die, but hey N.C. G At least you're havin' fun Spoken: G In all seriousness, I do think it's really important to hold people accountable for their mistakes G Um, y'know, we should hope that everyone can learn from their mistakes G And grow, and change their behavior, and be a better person G This is something that I've always tried to do when I make mistakes G And is something that I will continue to try t- what? N.C. Oh, you don't care? Oh, okay ♫ Verse 2: G I thought you wanted me to take accountability G7 But that's not the point of your mob mentality is it, no C Your goal is to ruin the life of the person you despise D7 G While you dramatize your lies and monetize their demise Spoken: G Yeah, um, I feel like I can already hear the comments on this video C "She's gaslighting, manipulating!" G "Ugh, she's a narcissist and a rat!" D7 "I would never make a mistake like that." ♫ Verse 3: G Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize G That all of you are perfect, so please, criticize me C Bring out the daggers made from your perfect past D7 And stab me repeatedly in my bony little back C G D7 G I'm sure you're disappointed in my shitty little song C G D7 G I know that you wanted me to say that I was 100% in the wrong C G Well, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna take that route D7 G Of admitting to lies and rumors that you made up for clout ♫ Verse 4: G Hey everybody, I found someone new to harass G7 She did some things that I do not like, in her past C D7 So everybody, gather 'round, 'cause we're about to attack D7 But not based on facts, oh no C Cm Your loaded lethal weapon is your fingers on the keys G E7 You don't need any armor when you can hide behind a screen C D7 N.C. So, shoot me down, quick, with a click, and bam G My reputation's deceased Spoken: G Uh, I also wanted to take a minute to talk about that girl, Miranda Sings G7 You know the one, yeah her C Uh, she's PG-13, it says that on my website ♫ Verse 5: C And it's always been that way D7 And that's why you won't find my videos on the YouTube Kids app C G Anyway, um, I didn't realize it was my responsibility D7 G To decide what was appropriate for every kid to see C G I've always relied on parents to decide if they're comfortable D7 G With their families watching my YouTube videos or coming to my live shows G N.C. Now, have I made some jokes in poor taste? Yes G7 N.C. Have I made lots of dumb mistakes? Yes C N.C. Am I sad that there's some fans that feel betrayed? Yes D7 N.C. But was my intention to manipulate? No Spoken: G It doesn't really matter what my intention was G 'Cause it seems as though everyone's already decided on that G Let me tell you, it's not very fun to have millions of people all over the world G Call you the most vile, horrendous, disgusting, life-ruining words G That a person can be called, in my opinion G Um, it doesn't matter that these things aren't true G N.C. Uh, everyone just believes that you are the type of person who manipulates and abuses children N.C. So, I just wanted to say that, um G G7 The only thing that I've ever groomed is my 2 Persian cats C Cm I'm not a groomer, I'm just a loser ♫ Verse 6: G G7 Who didn't understand I shouldn't respond to fans C Cm And I'm not a predator even though a lot of you think so G D7 Because 5 years ago, I made a fart joke N.C. So, C G even though I know this video won't change anyone's mind about me N.C. D7 I still felt it was important to come on here and defend myself a little G And take accountability N.C. And I also wanted to say that C G To anyone out there who has ever supported me in any capacity Spoken: D7 I really, really appreciate you, thank you N.C. For what it's worth, I never had any bad intentions N.C. But I do feel like shit ♫ Chorus: G G7 The toxic gossip train C D7 Chugging down the tracks of misinformation G G7 The toxic gossip train C D7 You got a one way ticket to manipulation station G G7 Toxic gossip train C Cm Tie me to the tracks and harass me for my past G E7 Rumors look like facts when you don't mind the gaps C D7 I won't survive in the crash but hey N.C. I hope you had some fun Spoken: N.C. G Actually, y'know, I feel like maybe I should G Let you guys know something, um G Seems like, maybe you're confused about something? I don't know N.C. Let me try to help, um ♫ Verse 7: G Sometimes people make a mistake and it doesn't make them a horrible person, whoa C D7 Sometimes people can make a mistake and they're still a good person N.C. Crazy, I know G G7 Sometimes people can make a mistake and you don't have to take that mistake, oh no C And twist it up, and grind it, and add some lies to it, and pulverize it C N.C. And stab it with knives, and ruin a life, and, oh no G G7 Sometimes people can make a mistake, it doesn't mean you gotta send them hate, oh no C D7 Sometimes people can make a mistake and you can kindly let them know, and help them to grow C G G E7 Sometimes people make mistakes, simply because they made a mistake? C D7 And that mistake doesn't make them a terrible human G It just makes them a human Spoken: N.C. But what do I know? N.C. Fuck me, right?
