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 all right

But it ain't all right

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 about to break

Don't wanna hear it

I cover my ears

I already know what you're about to say

It's time we had the talk

Say it's for the best

You'll love me for the rest of your whole life

But this ain't right

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
