The Shadowboxers - Telephone

It's just talk
Tell me what you mean, even if you mean to tell me off
Come and tell me off
It's just talk
Don't mean anything if you don't believe what you mean to say
Come and tell me straight, hey

Baby, I just want to believe you
But I know that everything will be see-through
When you see the truth, see the truth
You know this ain't you

There ain't any weight in your words
And I ain't lying when I say that it hurts me
You know this ain't you, ain't you
You know this ain't you

Words just don't get it
You talk them on and on to drag me along
It's like you know that I'll keep calling
Feels like I'm twelve years old playing telephone

Don't mean half the shit you're saying
That would've been nice to know
Yeah, that would've been nice to know
So fuck you and this game you're playing
And the string that you put me on
Yeah, the string that you put me on

It's just talk
See we make a plan, then you go and stand me up and use
Some fake excuse
It's just talk (talk)
And the worst thing is that I know that you could follow through
If you wanted to (what you gonna do?)

Baby, I just want to believe you
But I know that everything will be see-through (everything)
When you see the truth, see the truth (uh)
You know this ain't you (ah, no)

There ain't any weight in your words
And I ain't lying when I say that it hurts me
You know this ain't you, ain't you
You know this ain't you

Words just don't get it
You talk them on and on to drag me along
It's like you know that I'll keep calling
Feels like I'm twelve years old playing Telephone

So fuck you and this game you're playing (game you're playing)
