What I Can't Talk About

Some people need a drink just to get through the day

Some people need to pray

Some work, some run, some run away

To get away from the pain

But me, I need to climb inside a song

When life goes wrong

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

Sometimes a melody's the only thing that knows what I'm feelin'

When I'm feelin' like I wanna shake my fist at the ceiling, yeah

I tell my story with the wood and wire from my guitar

The ones that got away, the broken dreams, the battle scars

What I hold in, the music lets out

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

So, close your eyes tonight and put your headphones on

And listen to my song

I'm gonna heal ya, tell ya that you're not alone

You know you're not alone

Somebody somewhere out there's been there too

Just like you

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

Sometimes a melody's the only thing that knows what I'm feelin'

When I'm feelin' like I wanna shake my fist at the ceiling, yeah

I tell my story with the wood and wire from my guitar

The ones that got away, the broken dreams, the battle scars

What I hold in, the music lets out

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

Let the kick drum be your heartbeat

Let the guitar be your heart strings

Yeah

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

Sometimes a melody's the only thing that knows what I'm feelin'

When I'm feelin' like I wanna shake my fist at the ceiling, yeah

I tell my story with the wood and wire from my guitar

The ones that got away, the broken dreams, the battle scars

What I hold in, the music lets out

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

What I can't talk about

What I can't talk about

What I can't talk about

What I can't talk about

Let the kick drum be your heartbeat
