Let's talk about stuff

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You say, "Let's talk about stuff" With that look I know too well Like you're offering salvation While you're dragging me through hell You've got a million clever answers And a thousand things to say But when I ask the wrong question You can make the truth run away Your hands can keep a needle steady Draw a perfect, flawless line So why can't you hold a conversation Without crossing one of mine? [Pre-Chorus] And there's a zipper on my patience You're pulling at the seams We're somewhere between a breakdown And another dirty dream [Chorus] So let's talk about stuff Till the ceiling starts collapsing You can drive me fucking crazy While pretending nothing's happening Pull me close, then pull away Make a promise, make it rough If you're gonna break my heart At least admit you can't get enough Let's talk about stuff Let's talk about us Let's talk about everything That we keep dressing up as lust [Verse 2] I know exactly how you look When you think you've won the fight And you know exactly what I mean When I say I'm fine tonight We could argue about nothing Till we're both completely spent Then start another conversation Neither one of us intended Your mouth's a loaded weapon Your smile's a loaded gun And I'm dangerously familiar With the trouble you've become [Pre-Chorus] We trade accusations Like they're kisses in disguise But you can't keep changing subjects Every time I meet your eyes [Chorus] So let's talk about stuff Till the ceiling starts collapsing You can drive me fucking crazy While pretending nothing's happening Pull me close, then pull away Make a promise, make it rough If you're gonna break my heart At least admit you can't get enough [Bridge — Screamed/Clean Contrast] I WANT THE TRUTH! Not another pretty distraction! I WANT YOUR WORDS! Not another chain reaction! I want the man who used to tell me Every stupid little thing Before our conversations turned Into a battlefield of strings And yeah, I still want your hands on me But I want honesty there too Because wanting you is easy It's believing in you that's cruel [Final Chorus] Let's talk about stuff Let's tear the whole damn room apart Let's stop using our chemistry To hide a broken heart I can love you, I can want you I can still say that's not enough If you want to keep me close Then let's really talk about stuff [Outro — Quiet, Distorted Guitar] You used to follow me like a shadow Now I chase what we used to be We could talk about everything Except what's happening to me.
