The song is about a relationship falling apart due to rumors. Over time, rumors and lies have undermined the trust between the couple ("the lies inside the rumour left trust so far behind"). Despite trying to maintain their love and care for each other, the protagonist recognizes they cannot fight the rumors that have spread or argue with what their heart now feels as a result ("you can't fight the rumour / you can't argue with your heart"). The truth of their relationship is now in the past due to the damage caused by the rumors.

I'll look across this table And try to face a feeling I don't even recognize This is a sad hand That reached across and touched you When all we'd built around us came crashing to the ground
There was a tide turning
Somewhere deep inside us When all these years together seem lost behind my tears Oh there were good times But in between the dog days I felt the pain of rumour whisper in my ears
But I still tried to love you
I still tried to care Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers But you can't fight the rumour You can't argue with you heart, no Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past
As the rain falls
I listen to the radio And try to memorize the words to "Georgia On My Mind" But we're no old song We never stood the test of time The lies inside the rumour left trust so far behind
But I still tried to love you
I still tried to care Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers But you can't fight the rumour You can't argue with you heart, no Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past
And when we say goodbye
Be sure to look me in the eye And know the real secret Was the thing we didn't have to hide
But I still tried to love you
I still tried to care Still tried to hold on with the power of my prayers But you can't fight the rumour You can't argue with you heart, no Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads Once the rumour spreads, the truth is just a thing of the past Once the rumour spreads, once the rumour spreads The truth is just a thing of, it's just a thing of The truth is just a thing of the past
