Talking to You
How to Dress Well Lyrics

Don't know what I want, Don't know what I need
I feel lost and uncertain about my desires and necessities.

Don't know who I am, Don't know who I'll be
I'm struggling with my identity and how it could change in the future.

A simple shame indeed and in my sound track
There's a sense of shame in my life that's reflected in my music.

But it's a shame that gives my days the shame of having pride
Paradoxically, the embarrassment I feel makes me proud and fuels me creatively.

Cast a pall all over my days since you passed away
Your death has left an overwhelming sadness that colors every aspect of my life.

Choose to say you left me in a state I can't escape
I blame your absence for my current emotional state and feel trapped in it.

'Til you're back I know I'll never, ever, be the same
I believe that only your return could restore me and nothing else will suffice.

Choose to say I love you and no I'll never ever be the same
Professing my love for you has permanently altered me and I'll never be the person I was before.

I'm gonna have my way babe I (I think that I need you)
I have a strong desire to control the situation and I'm convinced that I can only do it with you by my side.

You get enough of my way and the way that (I need you)
You might find my behavior selfish and overbearing, and I acknowledge that I depend on you too much.

I can't wait for you while I live my lifetime
I don't want to put my life on hold while waiting for you, but I still hope that you'll come back to me.

Picture it as the same place as do without my boo
The thought of living without you feels unbearable and the same as being lost in the wilderness.

(Life goes on and I'll forget all the things said about you)
Time will pass and I'll move on, but I'll always cherish the memories we had together.

You hate me (and I need you)
I'm aware that our relationship is one-sided and you might dislike me, but I can't help but crave your presence.

You breathe deep (and I'll be true)
Your breath signals to me that you're still alive and I'll remain faithful to your memory.

You lie to me (That's just what you do)
I acknowledge that you weren't always honest with me, but I still hold on to the belief that your love was real.

Who said that I deserve that... I turn your mouth away
I question whether I deserved to suffer this pain and I try to suppress my feelings by avoiding memories of you.

Always in my way (I was in your way boy)
I realize that I might have been too clingy and possessive, and that I contributed to the breakdown of our relationship.

Mmm the saint of the day? (I wasn't your saint)
I wonder if you've moved on and found someone more virtuous than me, as I'm aware of my own faults and shortcomings.

Who will have my way now? (I can't go on with ya, oh)
I feel rudderless and without purpose now that you're gone, but I know that I can't continue this way.

World I need you, Won't be without you
You were my world and I can't imagine living without you, even though I must try.

(You will say it'll never happen even after you tried to)
You might have tried to reassure me that we could make it work, but deep down we both know that it won't work out.

Ain't nobodies different, You know just what you're missing
No one can replace you and you know that you left a void in my life that can never be filled by anyone else.

I don't know what you do to me (that's not the same as having my way again)
You have a profound effect on me that's distinct from the desire to control and have my way with you, even though the two are intertwined.

Did you love him
I wonder if you truly loved me or if I was just a passing infatuation.

Did you love him
I ask the same question again, perhaps to alleviate my doubts or confirm my suspicions.

Did you love him
I repeat the inquiry one more time, as if the answer could change or become more apparent.

like no other did boy?
I'm seeking confirmation that my love was unique and irreplaceable, and that you could never love anyone the same way.

Will you love me like no other did boy.
I'm making a desperate plea for your love and affection, and hoping that you'll reciprocate my feelings.
