Talk About It
Rukhsana Merrise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you feel like we've been running?
Something holding onto nothing
Letting go isn't easy
So I'll keep you with me
'Cause I'll never stand and watch you go
Do you feel like we've been running?

Tell me it's true and we're living this life
Takes to many chances to say goodbye

We don't ever talk about love
Didn't ever talk about love
Tryna find what we lost
What are we waiting on?
Nothing can change with the
Words you never say
We don't ever talk about love
(Talk about love)
Didn't ever talk about love ('Bout love)
Think it might be gone (Might be gone)
What are we waiting on?
We don't talk about our love

Do you feel like I've been running?
Am I the one that you wanted?
Well, you're not leaving and I
Keep you with me
'Cause nobody wants to be alone
Do you feel like you've been running?

Told me it's true, are we living a lie?
Take too many chances to say goodbye

We don't ever talk about love
Didn't ever talk about love
Tryna find what we lost
What are we waiting on?
Nothing can change with the
Words you never say
We don't ever talk about love
(Talk about love)
Didn't ever talk about love ('Bout love)
Think it might be gone (Might be gone)
What are we waiting on?
We don't talk about our love

I see, I can't talk right now, I'm busy
Let me get back in a minute
She wants to talk about marriage
And "How come we ain't married?"
And I ain't got a good enough reason
Now I'm looking deceiving
I ain't gettin' this evening
You're my woman, I mean it
My good looking sweet thing
Here I'm stuck in my feelings
In a pair of nice boogs, have you seen them?
Saying "I do" and I mean it
I've done the math skill
Me plus you add one child equals forever
See, I'm smart
I ain't got the IQ of an idiot
Right beside you, when I'm easy
You're the light, I might be doomed
And I need it

We don't ever talk about love
Didn't ever talk about love
Tryna find what we lost
What are we waiting on?
Nothing can change with the
Words you never say
We don't ever talk about love
(Talk about love)
Didn't ever talk about love ('Bout love)
Think it might be gone (Might be gone)




What are we waiting on?
We don't talk about our love

Overall Meaning

In Rukhsana Merrise's song "Talk About It," the lyrics explore a relationship that lacks open communication and discussion about love. The song portrays a sense of running away from addressing the issues and avoiding talking about their emotions.

The lyrics highlight the difficulty in saying goodbye and the reluctance to confront the possibility that their love may be fading away.


The repeated refrain of "We don't ever talk about love, didn't ever talk about love" emphasizes the lack of dialogue surrounding their relationship. The singer questions what they are waiting for and suggests that nothing will change if they continue to avoid expressing their emotions and desires. The song hints at the fear of commitment, as the singer mentions their partner wanting to talk about marriage but not feeling ready to provide a good enough reason for not getting married.


Overall, "Talk About It" captures the frustration and longing for more open communication in a relationship. It portrays the fear of losing someone but also highlights the stagnation that can occur when feelings are not openly discussed.
