Intro:
[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
[C]a lot of people are saying some things about me that aren't quite true
[D7]Doesn't matter if it's true though
Just as long as it's entertaining to y[G]you, right?
You guys having fun?
Chorus:
[G]All aboard the toxic gossip t[G7]train
[C]Chugging down the tracks of m[D7]misinformation
[G]The toxic gossip tra[G7]train
[C]You got a one way ticket to m[D7]manipulation station
[G]Toxic gossip tr[G7]train
[C]Tie me to the tracks and ha[Cm]harass me for my past
[G]Those rumors look like facts if you don't [E7]mind the gaps
[C]I won't survive in the crash but [D7]hey
At least you're hav[G]havin' fun
Interlude:
[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]There were times in the [G]DMs when I would overshare
[D7]Details of my life, w[G]which was really weird of me
[C]I haven't done that for y[G]years, you see
[D7]Because I changed my behavior, and I took a[G]accountability
Spoken:
But that's not very interesting, is it?
Chorus:
[G]So let's go on the toxic gossip t[G7]train
[C]The locomotive's fueled with ha[D7]hateful accusations
[G]The toxic gossip t[G7]train
[C]Steamroll over someone's re[D7]reputation
[G]Toxic gossip tr[G7]train
[C]Hop on board, but close your eyes, otherw[Cm]otherwise you'll realize
[G]That the train is made of lies and that [E7]person you despise
[C]Maybe didn't deserve to die, but [D7]hey
At least you're havi[G]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?
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]While you dramatize your lies and monetize their de[G]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]I'm sure you're dis[G]appointed in my xx[D7]xxty little s[G]ong
[C]I know that you wanted me to [G]say that I was 1[D7]100% in the w[G]wrong
[C]Well, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna t[G]take that route
[D7]Of admitting to lies and rumors that you [G]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]So everybody, gather 'round, 'cause we're about to a[D7]attack
[D7]But not based on facts, oh no
[C]Your loaded lethal weapon is your f[Cm]fingers on the keys
[G]You don't need any armor when you can h[E7]hide behind a screen
[C]So, shoot me down, quick, with a c[D7]click, and bam
My reputation's dec[G]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- , 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
Anyway, um, I didn't r[C]realize it was my re[G]responsibility
[D7]To decide what was appropriate for every k[G]kid to see
[C]I've always relied on parents to d[G]decide if they're comfortable
[D7]With their families watching my YouTube videos or c[G]coming to my live shows
[G]Now, have I made some jokes in poor taste? Yes
[G7]Have I made lots of dumb mistakes? Yes
[C]Am I sad that there's some fans that feel betrayed? Yes
[D7]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]Uh, everyone just believes that you are the
type of person who manipulates and abuses children
So, I just wanted to say that, um
[G]The only thing that I've ever groomed [G7]is my 2 Persian cats
[C]I'm not a groomer, [Cm]I'm just a loser
Verse 6:
[G]Who didn't understand I shouldn't res[G7]respond to fans
[C]And I'm not a predator even though [Cm]a lot of you think so
[G]Because 5 years ago, I made a [D7]fart joke
So,
[C]even though I know this video won't ch[G]change anyone's mind about me
I still felt it was important [D7]to come on here and defend myself a little
And t[G]take accountability
And I also wanted to say that
To an[C]anyone out there who has ever sup[G]supported me in any capacity
Spoken:
[D7]I really, really appreciate you, thank you
For what it's worth, I never had any bad intentions
But I do feel like xxxx
Chorus:
[G]The toxic gossip tr[G7]train
[C]Chugging down the tracks of m[D7]misinformation
[G]The toxic gossip tra[G7]train
[C]You got a one way ticket to m[D7]manipulation station
[G]Toxic gossip tr[G7]train
[C]Tie me to the tracks and ha[Cm]harass me for my past
[G]Rumors look like facts when you don't m[E7]mind the gaps
[C]I won't survive in the crash but [D7]hey
I hope you had some fun
Spoken:
Actually, y'know,[G]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
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]Sometimes people can make a mistake and they're s[D7]still a good person
Crazy, I know
[G]Sometimes people can make a mistake and you don't [G7]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]And stab it with knives, and ruin a life, and, oh no
[G]Sometimes people can make a mistake, it doesn't m[G7]mean you gotta send them hate, oh no
[C]Sometimes people can make a mistake and you
can ki[D7]kindly let them know, and help them to grow
[C]Sometimes people m[G]ake mistakes, simply b[G]ecause they made a mi[E7]stake?
[C]And that mistake doesn't make them a terrible h[D7]human
It just makes them a h[G]human
Spoken:
But what do I know?
xxxx me, right?
