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
Just as long as it's
                  G
entertaining to you, right?
You guys having fun?

[Chorus]
G
All aboard the toxic
         G7
 gossip train
C
Chugging down the tracks
     D7
of misinformation
G                   G7
The toxic gossip train
C
You got a one way ticket
     D7
 to manipulation station
G              G7
Toxic gossip train
C
Tie me to the tracks and
   Cm
 harass me for my past
G
Those rumors look like facts
              E7
 if you don't mind the gaps
C
I won't survive in
               D7
the crash but hey
                     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
Because I changed my behavior,
              G
 and I took accountability

[Spoken words]
But that's not very
interesting, is it?

[Chorus]
G
So let's go on the
               G7
 toxic gossip train
C
The locomotive's fueled
       D7
with hateful accusations
G                 G7
The toxic gossip train
C
Steamroll over someone's
   D7
 reputation
G              G7
Toxic gossip train
C
Hop on board, but close
 your eyes,
        Cm
 otherwise you'll realize
G
That the train is made of lies
          E7
 and that person you despise
C
Maybe didn't deserve to die,
     D7
 but hey
                      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
While you dramatize your
                           G
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
I'm sure you're disappointed
         D7           G
 in my shitty little song
C
I know that you wanted me
    G               D7
 to say that I was 100%
         G
in the wrong
C
Well, I'm sorry, I'm not
        G
 gonna take that route
D7
Of admitting to lies and
                G
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
So everybody, gather 'round,
                        D7
 'cause we're about to attack
D7
But not based on facts, oh no
C
Your loaded lethal weapon
          Cm
is your fingers on the keys
G
You don't need any armor when
          E7
 you can hide behind a screen
C
So, shoot me down, quick,
         D7
 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
Anyway, um, I didn't realize
             G
it was my responsibility
D7
To decide what was appropriate
            G
for every kid to see
C
I've always relied on parents
      G
 to decide if they're comfortable
D7
With their families watching
                      G
my YouTube videos or 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
         G7
 groomed is my 2 Persian cats
C                  Cm
I'm not a groomer, I'm
just a loser

[Verse 6]
G
Who didn't understand
                G7
I shouldn't respond to fans
C
And I'm not a predator even
        Cm
though a lot of you think so
G
Because 5 years ago,
          D7
 I made a fart joke
So,
C
even though I know this
               G
 video won't change anyone's
mind about me
N.C.
I still felt it was important
     D7
 to come on here and defend
 myself a little
     G
And take accountability
N.C.
And I also wanted to say that
     C
To anyone out there who has
         G
ever 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 shit

[Chorus]
G                  G7
The toxic gossip train
C
Chugging down the tracks
     D7
 of misinformation
G                   G7
The toxic gossip train
C
You got a one way ticket
     D7
to manipulation station
G              G7
Toxic gossip train
C
Tie me to the tracks and
   Cm
 harass me for my past
G
Rumors look like facts
                 E7
when you don't mind the gaps
C
I won't survive in
               D7
 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
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
                       D7
 a mistake and they're still
a good person
Crazy, I know
G
Sometimes people can make
                         G7
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
And stab it with knives,
 and ruin a life, and, oh no
G
Sometimes people can
make a mistake,
             G7
 it doesn't mean you gotta
send them hate, oh no
C
Sometimes people can make
                          D7
 a mistake and you can kindly
let them know, and help
them to grow
C                 G
Sometimes people make mistakes,
          G
 simply because they
           E7
 made a mistake?
C
And that mistake doesn't
                        D7
 make them a terrible human
                      G
It just makes them a human

[Spoken words]
But what do I know?
Fuck me, right?
