Talk About It

Like a thorn into my skin
My reserves are growing thin
I’m feeling delicate
And I just can’t shake it

With simply too much going on
I can’t conceive of what when wrong
There’s this tender spot that won’t let go

No, I
Don’t want to talk about it
No, I
Don’t want to talk about it

Why persist in each mistake
Have we no destiny to make
If you forgive me, well, maybe I’ll hear it
I’d rather turn inside my head
And deny all that was said
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
I don’t mean to be cruel

But I
Don’t want to talk about it
No, I
Don’t want to talk about it

You give me your gaze
Why don’t you let me alone
Am I not clear enough
For you to forsake me

This energy you find
Once a dream. Have I gone blind
If you hold me one more time
Would you let me go

No, I
No, I

A wounded wolf am I why explain it
Can’t we move on and just let this be
It all seems so small compared to the universe
Give me some time and then we will see

Cause I
Don’t want to talk about it
No I
Don’t want to talk about it

With simply too much going on
I can’t conceive of what went wrong
There’s this tender spot that won’t let go
