lyrics

your wide, expectant eyes await my side, but sometimes
baby I just don't wanna talk
it's not your fault
and you start to cry and I sigh cuz
baby I don't wanna be bought
wait that came out all wrong

I didn't mean to be so curt
I understand your feelings hurt
I wish I'd never said a word
I concur
everything I say just makes it worse

you know I love you
true, I can be absentee
but we both know how soon you'll have enough of me
and all the things I do
that drive you crazy indeed
and not the way we like it to be

and how it comes around
now I feel so left out
well, maybe you just don't wanna talk
tending your own thoughts
and it's so hard not to give in
to feeling like it's all my fault
that something's wrong

when all I need is a little time
to work out my temperamental mind
before I start committing crimes so unkind
you know because
the way it's been since way back when
so many words never make a dent
just rubbing raw on thinning skin
it's no-win
just a record skipping over and over again

I know you love me
true, you can be hard to read
but we both know how first impressions can mislead
and how I wish I knew
without the waiting to see
but in due time I find that's just what I need

everything we say
uninvited, gone to waste
no place to speak
but there’s no need to be so distraught
it’s okay if sometimes we don’t wanna talk
