Small Talk

I see you coming from afar Lately I've been wondering how you are I can smell the humid air Like the night we both were there To say it's over Should we shake and hug it out Should we start an argument and shout We're both a little awkward We don't know how to act now that we're over You used to tell me all your secrets I used to know your beating heart But now at night when I lay sleepless I know we're strangers when apart Because all that we can do is small talk No one says what we think of And the life that we lived Passes by in my mind But only lives in my head You changed the color of your hair But I still recognize the clothes you wear Because I bought you that sweater Weeks before I told you that I loved you So I ask about your mum And you just ask if I would like a piece of gum But I see it in your eyes You're trying so hard not to say 'I love you' You used to tell me all your secrets I used to know your beating heart But now at night when I lay sleepless I know we're strangers when apart Because all that we can do is small talk No one says what we think of And the life that we lived Passes by in my mind But only lives in my head All that we can do is small talk No one says what we dreamed of Because it's all in the past And we both know we tried So we leave it unsaid We leave it unsaid
