The Talk by Patrik Jean Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like the 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
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's 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
[Chorus]
It's time we had a 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 got to be
It's not you it's me
But I've heard that speech
So you can skip the talk
[Verse 2]
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 I'm attempting
I'm attempting to tempt you to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
So you begin to sing our final song
And I know it by heart
Said I know it by heart
[Chorus]
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 got to be
It's not you it's me
But I've heard that speech
So you can skip the talk
[Bridge]
Don't wanna hear it
I cover my ears
Save it for the next heart you're going to break
Don't wanna hear it
I cover my ears
How you already know what you're going to say?
[Chorus]
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
We should take a walk
It's how it's got to be
It's not you it's me
But I've heard that speech
So you can skip the talk
[Outro]
Please just skip the talk
Like the 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
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's 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
[Chorus]
It's time we had a 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 got to be
It's not you it's me
But I've heard that speech
So you can skip the talk
[Verse 2]
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 I'm attempting
I'm attempting to tempt you to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
So you begin to sing our final song
And I know it by heart
Said I know it by heart
[Chorus]
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 got to be
It's not you it's me
But I've heard that speech
So you can skip the talk
[Bridge]
Don't wanna hear it
I cover my ears
Save it for the next heart you're going to break
Don't wanna hear it
I cover my ears
How you already know what you're going to say?
[Chorus]
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
We should take a walk
It's how it's got to be
It's not you it's me
But I've heard that speech
So you can skip the talk
[Outro]
Please just skip the talk
