Night Talks

I gotta bite my tongue when

You get so critical

I say go easy on yourself

But I really mean go easy on everyone

We have an understanding

To not bring up the past

Because we were just kids throwing our fists

And it's nice to believe we've outgrown that

So why do I keep calling you up?

When these night talks always draw blood

Always draw blood

We got a way of digging

That leaves me in the dust

Could we try to play nice, stop twisting the knife

Either that or I'll have to square up

I must be a glutton

For some kind of punishment

Because I know how it ends, me losing again

And you getting on with it

So why do I keep calling you up?

Calling you up?

When these night talks always draw blood

Always draw blood

Always draw me like a moth to a flame

I'm no stranger to pain it seems I can't stay away from it

Oh 'cause it's always the same

It's always the same

So why do I keep calling you up?

Calling you up?

When these night talks always draw blood

Always draw blood

Am I trying to prove to you that I'm enough

But it just cuts

'Cause these night talks always draw blood

Always draw blood
