The Talk

Like that tattoo on your arm
I thought we would last a long time
A long time, baby
Like a statue you stand strong
Keep pretending like it’s alright
But it ain’t alright

And as you begin to sing our final song
You say you don’t like stringing me along
And so you begin to sing our final song
And I know it by heart
Said I know it by heart

It’s time we had the talk
Say it’s for the best
You’ll love me for the rest of your life
But this ain’t right
So we should take a walk
It’s how it’s gotta be
It’s not you, it’s me
Well, I’ve heard that speech
So you can skip the talk

Like the bed feels on your side
I am cold and I am empty
I’m empty baby
Doesn’t matter what I try
You see through what I’m attempting
I’m attempting to tempt you to stay

So you begin to sing our final song
And I know it by heart
Said I know it by heart

It’s time we had the talk
Say it’s for the best
You’ll love me for the rest of your life
But this ain’t right
So we should take a walk
It’s how it’s gotta be
It’s not you, it’s me
Well, I’ve heard that speech
So you can skip the talk

Don’t wanna hear it
I cover my ears
Save it for the next heart you’re ‘bout to break
Don’t wanna hear it
I cover my ears
I already know what you’re ‘bout to say

It’s time we had the talk
Say it’s for the best
You’ll love me for the rest of your life
But this ain’t right
So we should take a walk
It’s how it’s gotta be
It’s not you, it’s me
Well, I’ve heard that speech
So you can skip the talk
Please just skip the talk
