Rumors, they don't mean nothing 
 Whispers, they don't mean nothing 
    They're just (rumors, whispers)   
 You think I'm shallow, but I don't think you've seen enough to know

 I wish the old me could show you all the things I've done 
 So I told you, I hope the future holds a place where everything's exactly as it was   
 Substance, it's gotta count for something 
 Expectations, they don't mean anything
