Verse 1 They got my name on their tongue like a habit Passing stories ’round like they gotta grab it Peeking through windows they don’t even own Trying to make a movie out of what they don’t know They say, “Did you hear?” like it feeds their soul But I’m too busy healing, getting whole I used to answer every little lie Now I just smile and let my spirit rise Pre-Chorus ’Cause gossip is heavy And I’m traveling light They can stay in the shadows I’m walking toward the light Chorus Let ’em whisper, watch me bloom I’m making peace in a crowded room They can talk, talk, talk till the story dies I’m changing my heart, I’m changing my life Let ’em wonder what I’m gonna do I’m not bitter, I’m brand new While they’re busy trying to bury the truth I’m planting flowers where the rumors grew Verse 2 It’s gotta be tiring keeping score Counting my steps while I’m reaching for more I pray they find something better to do Like loving themselves, like starting brand new ’Cause I don’t want revenge, I don’t want a fight I want everybody sleeping good at night Less judgment, more grace in the air More “how can I help?” and less “who was there?” Pre-Chorus ’Cause gossip is poison But growth is the cure I’m not who I was And I’m not keeping score Chorus Let ’em whisper, watch me bloom I’m making peace in a crowded room They can talk, talk, talk till the story dies I’m changing my heart, I’m changing my life Let ’em wonder what I’m gonna do I’m not bitter, I’m brand new While they’re busy trying to bury the truth I’m planting flowers where the rumors grew Bridge May their hearts get softer May their minds get free May they stop looking outward And start finding peace May the ones who judge me Learn to love themselves ’Cause healed people don’t have to Drag down someone else Final Chorus Let ’em whisper, watch me bloom I found my sunlight, I left that room They can talk, talk, talk, but I’m still alive I’m changing my heart, I’m changing my life No more anger, no more chains I’m washing my name clean in the rain While they’re busy trying to bury the truth I’m planting flowers where the rumors grew Outro Let ’em whisper I’ll keep growing Let ’em gossip I’ll keep glowing My life is healing My peace is proof I’m planting flowers Where the rumors grew
