Rachel Wammack - Something People Say Lyrics

Rachel Wammack Lyrics

"Something People Say"

I heard a symphony when he started talking
First sight, time stop, kinda thing
The moment he walked in
Told my momma "we're in love" she said "you're too young to feel that way"
But that's just something people say

That truck we rode around in
Has lost some of its polish
We watch leaves fall three times
And I went off to college
He said "I'll call you every day nothing 'bout us is gonna change"
But that's just something people say

Maybe we meant it
And maybe we didn't
Maybe our words are just umbrellas for the rain
I didn't think I'd ever see the day
That "I love you" would turn into
Just something people say

My tear-filled can't take back
Wish I never met you
It all fell out so fast
As a foolish response to
His we ain't breaking up we're just taking a little break
'Cause that just something people say

Maybe we meant it
And maybe we didn't
Maybe our words are just umbrellas for the rain
I didn't think I'd ever see the day
That "I love you" would turn into
Just something people say

If I saw you out
Somewhere downtown
Would I use "good to see you" as an umbrella for the rain
I didn't think I'd ever see the day
That "I love you" would turn into
Just something people say
Something people say
