Talk Instead - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

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
