Don't Wanna Talk About It
Ira Losco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Times running out loves running off everything's slowly withering
Away, Love's running off away from me
I'm right by your side
But my hands are tied
I can't make you change your mind and my
Heart's paying the price of falling
And I don't wanna talk about it
I'm all out of words
There's nothing left thinking we both have it there
I don't even wanna go there I just want out
I've made up my mind
Cleared all the doubts
Cause I'm stuck on a one way street
Making it impossible for us to meet
I don't wanna talk about it
No I don't wanna talk
Learning to stand learning to walk Learning to Live all over
Again trying my wings again and though
You're right by my side but your hands are tied You can't make me change my mind and my
Heart's paying the price of Falling
And I don't wanna talk about it
I'm all out of words
There's nothing left thinking we both have it there
I don't even wanna go there I just want out
I've made up my mind
Cleared all the doubts
Cause I'm stuck on a one way street
Making it impossible for us to meet
Don't wanna cry just wanna try to forget
All out of air I dunno where to begin
No I don't wanna cry I just wanna cry to forget
Cause it hurts when you start thinking of what could've been
And I don't wanna talk about it
I'm all out of words
There's nothing left thinking we both have it there
I don't even wanna go there I just want out
I've made up my mind
Cleared all the doubts
Cause I'm stuck on a one way street
Making it impossible for us to meet
