I Don't Want to Talk
Wallows Lyrics

If I reflect, look back on that other place and time
Thinking back on a certain time when you were away and things fell apart.

When you left for a while and I kind of lost my mind
When you were gone, I felt like my world was in shambles.

Realized the older I get, I get more insecure
As I grow up, I feel more self-doubt and become more vulnerable.

If I don't have you by my side, then I can't be sure
Without you, my life is unpredictable and I don't know where I stand.

I'm not alright, but I don't need comfort
I'm feeling terrible, but I don't want anyone to help me cope.

I don't want to talk
I don't feel like discussing my feelings at the moment.

So could you tell me that it's over, tell me that it's over, tell me that it's over now?
Just tell me that it's over and done with so I can move on too.

Then I could shut this off
Once I know it's over, I can stop thinking about it and feeling so miserable.

I went to send you off, felt off by what I saw there
I came to see you off, but what I saw made me feel uneasy.

Him in the leopard pattern coat that you wished you'd share
Saw him wearing a coat that you had wanted for yourself.

You in your brand new sweatsuit and your fresh platinum hair
You were wearing new clothes and had recently dyed your hair platinum blonde.

Your Fjällräven Kånken's packed and I watch him stare
Your backpack is all packed and he's looking at it eagerly.

Feeling like my mind's wiped
I feel like my brain has been erased.

He looks more like your type
He seems more suited to your taste and preferences.

If I leave you tonight, will he leave your eyes wide?
If I let you go, will he leave you with a sense of awe and excitement?

Bet he didn't think first when he did a crowd surf
He's reckless and doesn't consider the consequences of his actions, like crowd surfing.

Effortlessly expert
He seems to be a natural at everything he does.

Attention grabber
He craves attention and wants to be seen.

Don't usually cry, but looks like that's over
I'm not one to cry often, but it seems like that's going to change.

I start to lose sight of myself and I wish I could shut it
I'm starting to lose my sense of identity and I want to just forget about it.

No, I'm not alright, but I don't need comfort
I'm still not doing well, but I don't want anyone's help.

I don't want to talk
I still don't feel like talking about it right now.

So could you tell me that it's over, tell me that it's over, tell me that it's over now?
Just tell me it's over so I can finally move on.

Then I could shut this off
I can't stop thinking about it until I know it's over for good.
