Start Talking
Silent Echoes: Unveiling the Hidden Turmoil in 'Start Talking'
Lyrics
I force a smile while I ache inside
I'm hiding my pain behind a forced smile
I am a man who won't swallow my pride
I refuse to give up my pride
Step in my boots and feel my pain
Put yourself in my shoes and experience my suffering
Every bit I gave was all in vain
Everything I gave was without any positive outcome
Troubled I and troubled you
We both face troubles
What ever I do is never good for you
My actions are never satisfactory for you
Hey girl, just hear me out
Listen to what I have to say
What ever you've done you reek of sin
You exude a sense of guilt for whatever you've done
I don't know if I can take it no more
I'm unsure if I can endure it any longer
I know you know that I know what you know
We share mutual awareness of each other's knowledge
Could have been, should have been
Opportunities were missed, things could have been different
Telling me it ain't so
Denying the reality of a situation
Start talking or start walking
Speak up or leave
I know you know that I know what you know
We both acknowledge the same information
Could have been, should have been
Regret for missed chances
Telling me it ain't so
Denying the reality of a situation
Start talking or start walking
Speak up or leave
I honey you (you honey me)
Expressing affection, but with hesitation
Oh, never again please leave me be
Pleading not to hurt again
Oh, oh oh oh (Woah, woah oh oh)
Expressing emotion with vocalizations
Hey (Hey) read my lips
Direct attention to my words
Now you're just another pair of hips
You've become just a physical attraction
Yeah, na na na no no
Rejection with vocalizations
Let's go girl this round is on me
Suggesting a change in the situation
I know you know that I know what you know
We are aware of each other's knowledge
Could have been, should have been
Regret for missed opportunities
Telling me it ain't so
Denying the reality of a situation
Start talking or start walking
Speak up or leave
I know you know that I know what you know
We are aware of each other's knowledge
Could have been, should have been
Regret for missed opportunities
Telling me it ain't so
Denying the reality of a situation
Start talking or start walking
Speak up or leave
I burst if I don't say why
I'll explode if I don't express why
I'll burn if I close my eyes
Refusing to close my eyes to avoid pain
Heaven awaits if I leave hell
Leaving a difficult situation brings relief
This one way ticket is my only friend
A one-way ticket is my only comfort
Sayonara bitch 'cause this is farewell
Farewell, expressing a strong negative emotion
I know you know that I know what you know
We are aware of each other's knowledge
Could have been, should have been
Regret for missed opportunities
Telling me it ain't so
Denying the reality of a situation
Start talking or start walking
Speak up or leave
I know you know that I know what you know
We are aware of each other's knowledge
Could have been, should have been
Regret for missed opportunities
Telling me it ain't so
Denying the reality of a situation
Start talking or start walking
Speak up or leave
Start talking or start walking
Make a decision – communicate or depart
