What Needs to Be Said

I'd like to say that our love is like a dead cell phone
where you can plug it back up and it comes back on,
but it's more like a friend that I lost in the past
yeah I loved who you were, but I can't get that back
no, no

I'd like to sleep in the comfort of my own bed
wrapped up in you like a book I've not read,
but you kicked me out, now I'm sleeping alone
on this old dirty couch checking my phone for you

I'm not talking you down,
I'm not chewing you out,
I'm not being unkind,
I'm just saying what's on my mind

I'm not shutting my mouth,
I'm not talking too loud,
I ain't losing my head,
I'm just saying what needs to be said

I'd rather live in the corner of an overpass
in the middle of the city regretting my past,
than fall for a girl with pearly white teeth
who said she had time, but spent none on me

I'd rather busk in the streets to pay for my meals,
and pick up bad habits and learn how to steal,
than have a nice job, but spend all my cash
on diamonds and pearls for a love that won't last,
no, no

I'm not talking you down,
I'm not chewing you out,
I'm not being unkind,
I'm just saying what's on my mind

I'm not shutting my mouth,
I'm not talking too loud,
I ain't losing my head,
I'm just saying what needs to be said

What needs to be said
oh, what needs to be said

I'm not talking you down,
I'm not chewing you out,
I'm not being unkind,
I'm just saying what's on my mind

I'm not shutting my mouth,
I'm not talking too loud,
I ain't losing my head,
I'm just saying what needs to be said

You're more like a friend that I lost in the past.
Yeah, I loved who you were, but I can't get that back
no, no
