Talk Instead

Overslept and school has started now
Swear I woke up and probably laid back down
I know you’re busy, but could you bail me out?
Not sure exactly what to do right now
I’ll be right back, sorry I missed your call
I’m doing great, I’ll see you later on
Don’t worry 'bout me 'cause I’ll be better off
Whatever happens, I know that life goes on
Truth is, I’m pretty sure that I’ve been facing hell
And if I’m being honest, I can’t say that I’m doing well
I would give up anything for a chance to have some peace
So the pain could finally end
'Cause I don’t wanna sing about my problems, I just wish that we could talk
instead
Could we just talk instead?
I know that you have so much on your plate
But could we please talk about yesterday?
I know that I’m too young and can’t relate
But it’d be nice to tell you 'bout my day
Truth is, I stayed up late and cried myself to sleep
But there’s a reason you’ll never hear a thing from me
I would give up anything if we could have a chance to speak
So the wounds could finally mend
'Cause I don’t wanna cry about my problems, I just thought that we could talk
instead
Could we just talk instead?
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
I know I’m grown and have an attitude
I was kind of hoping that wasn’t stopping you
I need you now more than I ever knew
But now it’s difficult to tell the truth
Truth is, I wish that we could learn to get along
'Cause everyday I’m losing the strength to carry on
I would give up anything if you would just listen to me
So we could live with our regrets
'Cause I don’t wanna hold on to our problems, I’m begging please,
could we just talk instead?
Why can’t we talk instead?
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
