[Pre Chorus]
We simply need to talk this out…I KNOW that love is there –
I desperately want to feel your love - convince me that you care.
I‘ll no longer let a single soul blame ME for their actions.
I need to shut my mouth and watch them deal with their own sanctions.
If someone seeks advice from me, I’ll gladly share my passions...
And I’ll stay and talk or walk away depending on reactions!
I refuse to lose myself just to feel appreciation.
When it’s clear to me I’m solo when it comes to motivation.
Alone I barge right through those walls, seeking vindication
When in truth, I find my actions simply hurt the situation.
I think that it’s paramount that we sit and chat awhile-
Regarding truth, love and hope – and things that make us smile.
Yet often, we can’t talk at all... we go that extra mile –
But end up being hurtful – spewing words that are just vial.
We need to meet on common ground – an open, neutral place
We’ll respect each other so much more when speaking face to face.
There won’t be time to argue; we both will offer grace…
We cannot speak in such a way the pain will not erase.
[Chorus]
We simply need to talk this out…I KNOW that love is there –
I desperately want to feel your love – convince me that you care.
Things haven’t been too easy since this awful separation…
We believed that one or both of us would make a transformation.
But neither thinks the other changed – I made that observation
When we argued like so much before... We split in desperation.
Can we try again sometime? We have to persevere.
We need to have productive talks to make things much more clear.
And absolutely keep our cool – we cannot live in fear.
We still can’t be afraid to say the things we need to hear.
I'm searching for some insight and perhaps some understanding
As to what is stuck within your head and why you’re so demanding
I don't need empty promises - that's just your conscious talking
So, let's work hard together to keep us both from walking.
I find I’m often crying as I’m still to unaware
Of what has been life-changing – your silence is unfair.
I don’t believe it’s all my fault – we both have blame to share
But still I can’t go on like this – I feel such deep despair.
[Chorus]
And now that I’ve reached out again, it’s YOU who holds the ball.
It’s completely up to you if you’ll ever talk at all.
I can be the first to try to climb our prison wall…
My heart and doors stay open should you ever want to call
[Final Chorus]
So Please, we need to talk this out…you PROMISED love is there –
I desperately need to feel your love –
I KNOW THAT YOU STILL CARE!
I’ll always love you!
