I know you’re not
the sharpest tool in the shed.
We stacked decks, I met your best friends.
Then a bird flies by and you forget.
I don’t hear a word,
’til your guilt creeps in.
On a Tuesday, send a soft “hey,”
as if you really don’t recall the time
We were goin’ right, then you took a left,
left me with a lot of things to second-guess.
Guess I’ll waste another year on wonderin’ if,
if that was friendly, then I am into it.
I’m lookin’ for an answer in-between the lines,
lyin’ to yourself if you think we’rе fine
You’re confused and I’m upsеt, but
We never talk about it
We never talk about it
We never talk about it
All the silence just makes it worse, really,
’cause it leaves you so top-of-mind for me.
All the silence is just your strategy,
’cause it leaves you so top-of-mind for me.
We never talk about how you
found bugs at your friend’s house, always
made sure that the phone was face-down.
Seems like overnight,
I’m just the friend you know now.
We never talk it through
how you guilt-tripped me to open up to you.
Then you logged out, leavin’ me dumbfounded, oh-oh

We never talk about it
We never talk about it

We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it
We don’t talk about it, talk, talk, talk about it
We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it
We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it
