small talk

by brendan philip mccusker

verse 1

someone told me they saw you out

yelling into the crowd

throwing your weight around

coming down from a higher ground

now showing in the round

left in the lost and found

pre 1 

telling me you really didn’t get what you deserve

well you might have a way with words but boy you got a lotta nerve 

chorus

i don’t wanna hear you small talk tonight

we can chat about the weather

the traffic or whatever

no i don’t wanna waste my time

but you know i’m gonna be polite 

i don’t wanna hear you small talk tonight

we can go letter by letter but that won’t make it better

and you know i’d rather say goodnight

if you still won’t make it right

verse 2

you call me up just to put me down

sayin it’s over now but don’t make a sound

if it was all so simple why’d it take so long

for you to prove everybody wrong

pre 2

maybe you were honest maybe you were being modest

maybe you can keep a promise maybe you

bridge

keep running keep running keep running away
