Still Talk to You
Echoes of Heartache: Decoding Morgan Keller's 'Still Talk to You'
Lyrics
Every day I’m more and more confused
Expressing increasing confusion on a daily basis.
No more solid ground for my high heel shoes
Feeling a lack of stability or certainty in relationships.
These mixed signals just won’t compute
Struggling to understand conflicting signals in communication.
Maybe ‘cause they’re code for get over you
Suspecting that the signals are a disguised message to move on.
Silly brain I make up another excuse to still talk to you
Creating excuses to maintain contact despite the confusion.
I wear my heart on my sleeve where it easily gets bruised
Being emotionally vulnerable, easily hurt in relationships.
Guess it’s the Libra in me and the coward in you
Attributing relational challenges to astrological traits (Libra) and a partner's reluctance.
I could run away but I’m only hiding from the truth
Considering running away as a means of avoiding a painful reality.
I still talk to you
Despite challenges, continuing to communicate with the person.
Oh whoa I know I deserve better than you
Acknowledging personal worth and the need for a better relationship.
Oh whoa I should’ve known better than to trust someone with trust issues
Regretting trusting someone with evident trust issues.
Oh whoa our expiration’s way overdue
Recognizing that the relationship has gone past its expiration date.
But no matter what you do
Despite difficulties, still holding onto feelings for the person.
I still talk to you
Continuing to engage with the person emotionally.
If I had a dime for every time you strung me along
Reflecting on the frequency of being misled by the person.
Then cried to me apologizing playing victim
Recalling instances of apologies and the person playing the victim.
Staring at me all doe-eyed like ‘baby what’s wrong?’
Describing the person's attempts to appear innocent and concerned.
I’d bet all my money that you couldn’t help liking this song
Suggesting a willingness to bet that the person still enjoys the situation.
I throw this shade but when your text comes through
Throwing shade at the person but remaining responsive to their messages.
I still talk to you
Despite negative feelings, still communicating when the person reaches out.
Oh whoa I know I deserve better than you
Reiterating the awareness of deserving a better relationship.
Oh whoa I should’ve known better than to trust someone with trust issues
Regretting the decision to trust someone with trust issues.
Oh whoa our expiration’s way overdue
Emphasizing that the relationship has exceeded its natural duration.
But no matter what you do
Continuing to hold onto emotions and connection with the person.
I still talk to you
Repeating the affirmation of still talking to the person despite everything.
I still talk to you
Repeating the declaration of continued communication.
Don’t know why I do but I guess I keep coming back
Expressing confusion about the persistence of contact.
Wish I didn’t get so attached
Wishing for detachment despite developing strong emotional ties.
Oh whoa I know I deserve better than you
Reaffirming the awareness of deserving a better relationship.
Oh whoa I know I deserve better than you
Repeating the acknowledgment of personal worth.
Oh whoa I know I deserve better than you
Reiterating the realization of deserving better in relationships.
Oh whoa I should’ve known better than to trust someone with trust issues
Regretting trusting someone with evident trust issues.
Oh whoa our expiration’s way overdue
Stressing that the relationship has surpassed its natural end.
But no matter what you do
Persisting in maintaining emotional ties despite challenges.
No matter what you do
Emphasizing the commitment to still communicate regardless of circumstances.
No matter what you do
Repeating the commitment to maintain communication.
I still talk to you
Final affirmation of continued emotional connection with the person.
