Lyrics:
[Verse]
G
Any last words before I walk out,
Em
You said to me honesty can’t work now.
G
Turn a blind eye, cuz the truth sides,
Em
To the hinges of the words of a white lie.
[Pre Chorus]
C Em D
We were playing blame games faster than the rain came pouring down.
C Em D
But if you take a look in my eyes, you can see there's real sight pouring now.
[Chorus]
C Em
Why don’t you just talk to me?
D
I don’t need it wrapped up in sympathy.
C Em
Why don’t you just talk, hear what I say?
D
I’ll clean every syllable, if it helps become credible,
C
Why don’t we just talk.
Em D
[Verse]
C Em
They say honesty's a policy to believe in but truths got an honest way of deceiving
D
& it’s fresh on my face, no disguise could replace.
C Em D
I won’t blink emotion cuz' my tears gain promotion over dear Adam’s ways, in the moment,
C
When the blood in my veins runs from the dormant, flowing hot in your reign, in the heat, likes its an ocean,
Em D
All I want is for you to believe in me, and read in between the lines.
[Pre Chorus]
C Em D
So tell me that you’ll listen, all I want's permission to hear me out.
C Em D
You know if you leave then, I will have to pretend you’re still around.
[Chorus]
C Em
Why don’t you just talk to me?
D
I don’t need it wrapped up in sympathy.
C Em
Why don’t you just talk, hear what I say?
D
I’ll clean every syllable, if it helps become credible,
C
Why don’t we just talk.
[Bridge]
Am7
I know it was wrong but I don’t want you to leave,
G
There’s gotta be some way that you might listen to me.
Em Bm
I can give you space, I can give u a week, I know that I lied but i’ll say it again.
Am7
I don’t want you to leave cuz' you matter the most,
G
You’re the valuable thing that I would pack if I go.
Em D
What use are silver linings, we were already gold, we were already gold.
[Pre Chorus]
C Em D
Maybe I can start by laying it all right in front of you.
C Em D
Please don’t fold my cards because you know your hearts my strongest suit.
[Chorus]
G D
Why don’t you just talk to me?
Em C
I don’t need it wrapped up in sympathy.
G D
Why don’t you just talk, hear what I say?
Em C
I’ll clean every syllable, if it helps become credible,
