Don't want to say something I'll later regret 'Cause im not trying to start an argument I can't win I'm okay with sleeping on the floor 'Cause im not trying to score In an argument i can't win On vacation, trips, in bars I'm dumb enough to start Discussions bigger than buildings Low blow There's no need to tell me my dinner's getting cold All I can do now, get through to her somehow Thought out words take too long to leave my tongue So I wanna take control I wanna say don't talk just listen Don't talk just listen Don't talk just listen You pick it up and get over yourself so very quick When you tell me i'm a *bleeped* And I embarrass you in restaurants That leaves no room for dessert You tell me I'm the worst For just asking what the problem was Just go They're staring at us like we're a circus show Just leave She said we'll finish this at home All I can do now, get through to her somehow Thought out words take too long to leave my tongue So I wanna take control I wanna say don't talk just listen Don't talk just listen Don't talk just listen Don't talk So I wanna take control I wanna say don't talk just listen Well I suppose you've heard enough by now You wanna tell me I'm the worst When my intention is to stitch it up, I stick a knife in first I suppose you heard enough words I fix crisis, still I start the fights It's all so exhausting I keep talking, talking, talking What a lover I can be And I know its only me Play with words on your plate No more talking today Sit up straight and just take a listen
