Don't pretend, act like this ain't happening
In the end, the truth is better out than in
But you get it from your mama, all those good manners she taught ya
And I know you think you're doing right by me
When you lie, compromise your honesty
Tell me it's fine, but you're faking, like I'm too fragile to take it
But I'm much stronger, than you think
And I've handled all of this before
Gotta, help me, help you, baby
All we gotta do is talk

You don't need to play kind with me, like I've never been hurt before
And tell little white lies to me, like you think the truth must be wrong
Sugar-coating these words for me, you know it tastes so bitter
And coming second ain't a first for me
So take it and let's talk it out

You're the king of doing things the easy way
But for once I need you to communicate it
You said you're just like your father, and there's so much he never taught ya
But I'm much stronger, than you think
And I've handled all of this before
Gotta, help me, help you, baby
All we gotta do is talk

You don't need to play kind with me, like I've never been hurt before
And tell little white lies to me, like you think the truth must be wrong
Sugar-coating these words for me, you know it tastes so bitter
And coming second ain't a first for me
So take it and let's talk it out

Tell me how I can love you, if there's always something you hold back?
Do your worst, I can take it
I can help you, if you help me understand, understand

You don't need to play kind with me, like I've never been hurt before
And tell little white lies to me, like you think the truth must be wrong
Sugar-coating these words for me, you know it tastes so bitter
And coming second ain't a first for me
So take it and let's talk it out

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Talk it out
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Talk it out
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Talk it out
