Talk To Me

After it was over, after the crying
 And all the angry shouting
 When we'd both just given up
 And you turned and closed the door
 I didn't know what was wrong
 Anymore than I did before
 Maybe it was over
 When you stopped trying
 Or when I started doubting
 Maybe you don't care enough
 Maybe I'm just scared you'll go
 But maybe what was really wrong
 Is that I still don't really know
 Talk to me quietly, peacefully
 Tell me what to do
 Talk to me honestly, don't you see
 I need to talk to you
 I need to hear that we're okay
 And say the things that I meant to say
 So talk to me before
 Before it's really over
 When it all was starting
 When I first met you
 We couldn't keep from talking
 I knew everything you felt
 And I felt you knew me too
 Now I'm talking to myself
 Or I'm just yelling back at you
 How this could have happened
 How I could lose you
 Or you could think to leave me
 After where we started from
 I'm too dumb I guess to see
 But you can't go 'till I do
 And you know
 You owe that to me
 Talk to me quietly, peacefully
 I don't wanna fight
 Talk to me nice and slow
 So I'll know
 How to make it right
 I'm not afraid to take the blame
 I'm just afraid we'll stay the same
 And we won't talk until
 Until it's really over
 I don't understand
 Why you're always mad
 What could I have done
 What could be so bad
 Don't you wanna know
 Why I never sleep
 Look what we've become
 From all these secrets that we keep
 When it's really over
 'cause I can't take it
 Or you've walked out
 For the last time
 When these years are just a dream
 And these tears somehow have dried
 I can't wake up in my bed
 And regret what we never tried
 So please don't say it's over
 Don't even think it
 Just think about the good times
 Think of all we've got to lose
 And not who's done what to who
 And when it comes time to chose
 Think of who would still die for you
 Talk to me quietly, peacefully
 Make me understand
 Say what you need to say
 Find a way
 Take me by the hand
 The only thing I ask of you
 Is please, for once, just listen too
 And talk to me before
 Before it's really over
 Talk to me
 Before it's really over
