talking to yourself

(album: you only call when you want something - 2021)

I speak
You don't know what I need
You don't love me and you know I know it
I freeze
End up on my knees
Looking for something to keep me going
We got some problems, it's never your fault, though
And all these years, my back against the wall, so
We gon' have it out again
You make some progress just to go and let me down again
It's not as simple as it was back then

And I thought
That we could talk this through
'Cause I trust you but
You don't wanna listen 'less you're talking to yourself

Talking to yourself
You don't like listening unless you end up talking to yourself
When I said it was worth it, you said I should go to hell
Fuck everybody else
You don't like listening unless you end up talking to yourself

When did we give up on a discussion?
Why does how I'm feeling count for nothing?
I know you would rather I just fade away
So I'm just gonna keep pushing your buttons, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I thought
That we could talk this through
'Cause I trust you but
You don't wanna listen 'less you're talking to yourself

Talking to yourself
You don't like listening unless you end up talking to yourself
When I said it was worth it, you said I should go to hell
Fuck everybody else
You don't like listening unless you end up talking to yourself

You think I don't know what I want
I want
You think I don't know what I want
I want
(Talking to yourself)
You think I don't know what I want (Talking to yourself)
I want
(You said I should go to hell)
You think I don't know what I want
(Listening unless you end up talking to yourself)
