Stop Talking
G.O.T.V. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please stop talking, we know where we went wrong
Don't convince me, it won't matter when you're gone
I remember how it was, I don't want to reminisce
You don't have to set me straight, I don't want to learn from this
Please stop talking
I don't need to know the reason why
Please stop talking
You should've stopped talking when you said goodbye
Break out the sticks and stones, that's how it's supposed to be
Tell your brothers what I did, tell them instead of telling me
You can stab me in the back some day,you can drown me in your tears
I don't care if you poison me, just don't pour it in my ears
Please stop talking, you can save your breath
You never told me this before, you don't have to worry me to death




If I could get a word in here, if I could have one final wish
I'd wish you only loved me half as much as you're enjoying this
