Small Talk

And halfway home, you caught me at the station
 Struck me up with quiet conversation
 It'd been months since you had set me free
 Filled me in on your newfound meditation
 The quiet lies that helped your dedication
 Dreams that you loved more than you loved me
 I do not want to be cold to you
 But you left me no choice again
 But, girl, you better act your age
 Or you're gonna find yourself alone some day
 Standing still in the same old place
 Looking the same way as yesterday
 Let me let you in on a secret
 You've got lies that I think you should keep inside
 Your cage with a broken lock
 I'm sick of this small talk
 I'm sick of this small talk
 I cannot lie, not what I expected to see
 To see you shake at every simple question
 I know you more than you could ever hope I would
 So take me up the stairs, I saw you from a distance
 With a cigarette, you sworn that you were quitting
 What's this cloud that hangs over our heads?
 I do not want to be cold to you
 But you left me no choice again
 So girl, you better act your age
 Or you're gonna find yourself alone some day
 Standing still in the same old place
 Looking the same as yesterday
 Let me let you in on a secret
 You've got lies that I think you should keep inside
 Your cage with a broken lock
 I'm sick of this small talk
 I'm sick of this small talk
 I'm sick of this small talk
 Sick of this small talk
