Talk to me
julie-anny
You stand there rehearsing wars
In the mirror, in your head
Every sentence dressed in thorns
Every kindness left for dead
But love was never built
Through strategy and smoke
You don't need another mask
Or another clever joke
So talk to me
No poison in your tongue
No performance for protection
No pretending you're undone
Just talk to me
Like the night is growing thin
Like honesty's the last light
Either one of us has left within
Put your pride beside the doorway
Let it wait outside instead
Lay your fears out on the table
Every word you never said
'Cause baby if you're terrified just as me
Maybe we can chose the path to keep
Throw away all our uncertainties
Live as one for all eternity
So talk to me
With your hands unclenched and bare
No desire to win the moment
No rehearsed indifferent stare
Just talk to me
And let the truth arrive
Maybe love is simply choosing
Not to hide this time
And if your voice begins to tremble
If your composure falls apart
Boy, know that you met the person
Who's been searching for your heart
