Talk!

Oh to be loved, oh to be snubbed
To be held and held at arms length
The subtleties that become drastic
The emotions that become plastic
Forging ahead and forging smiles
To keep plastered on our faces
There's just no way to brace for this

I just want to scream
Talk!
Say something, say anything
I just want to scream
Talk!
Do something, do anything
And I just want you
To make this feeling go away

Oh to be missed, to be regretted
To be held and held at arms length
Only sometimes appreciating intentions
Being careful of what we mention
Did I fail to remind you
Did I fail to guide you
And put your hand right on my heart

I just want to scream
Talk!
Say something, say anything
I just want to scream
Talk!
Do something, do anything
And I just want you
To make this feeling go away

And I'm sick, of living in texts
That are so much more desirable than this
You wouldn't say it if you didn't mean it
Or at least, that's what I tell myself
Wish you'd ask for my help
Or ask for anything, to keep me close
But I feel like the person you can't stand the most

So talk, let me know
Talk, and let me go
Let loose this sad grip
