[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I d like to say that our love is like a dead cell phone
where you can plug it back up and it comes back on,
but it s more like a friend that I lost in the past
yeah I loved who you were, but I can t get that back
no, no
I d like to sleep in the comfort of my own bed
wrapped up in you like a book I ve not read,
but you kicked me out, now I m sleeping alone
on this old dirty couch checking my phone for you
[Chorus]
I m not talking you down
I m not chewing you out
I m not being unkind
I m just saying what s on my mind
I m not shutting my mouth,
I m not talking too loud,
I ain t losing my head,
I m just saying what needs to be said
[Verse 2]
I d rather live in the corner of an overpass
in the middle of the city regretting my past,
than fall for a girl with pearly white teeth
who said she had time, but spent none on me.
I d rather busk in the streets to pay for my meals,
and pick up bad habits and learn how to steal,
than have a nice job but spend all my cash
on diamonds and pearls for a love that won t last,
no, no
[Chorus]
I m not talking you down
I m not chewing you out
I m not being unkind
I m just saying what s on my mind
I m not shutting my mouth,
I m not talking too loud,
I ain t losing my head,
I m just saying what needs to be said
[Instrumental]
What needs to be said
ohhhhhh what needs to be said
[Chorus]
I m not talking you down
I m not chewing you out
I m not being unkind
I m just saying what s on my mind
I m not shutting my mouth,
I m not talking too loud,
I ain t losing my head,
I m just saying what needs to be said
[Outro]
You re more like a friend that I lost in the past.
Yeah, I loved who you were, but I can t get that back
no, no
