Conversation

It’s not easy

To keep you off my tongue

We were once in love

That’s no reason

I should hit rewind

Pretend you’re in my life

It’s not like

I have nothing to say about me

So why must I

Weave you into every story

If I don’t stop

Bringing you up

Will you ever go away

If there’s no us

What do I want

With the letters in your name

It’s too much

Weighing me down

Will the pattern break

Where I leave you out

In conversation

Do I miss you

Or is my ego bruised

Always trying to prove

That I’m worthy

To fit with social norms

Or are you the one I want

If I don’t stop

Bringing you up

Will you ever go away

If there’s no us

What do I want

With the letters in your name

It’s too much

Weighing me down

Will the pattern break

Where I leave you out

In conversation

In conversation

I should go down

Down to the monastery

Live in a house

And take my vow of silence

If I don’t stop

Will you ever go away

Cuz I still feel

The letters in your name

If I don’t stop

Bringing you up

Will you ever go away

If there’s no us

What do I want

With the letters in your name

It’s too much

Weighing me down

Will the pattern break

Where I leave you out

In conversation
