Listen to "You don't have to Talk to Me"

Verse 1: 

Judging by the look on your face,

I caught you at a time

when you weren't expecting company.

I can't help it, I just had to come.

I don't know why.

You don't even have to talk to me.

Our time together hasn't been the best,

seems like the problems overcame the rest.

And now you're leavin' like you said when we began.

You're leavin' unless I can make a stand.

Chorus 1:

But you don't even have to talk to me.

You can turn your head and walk away,

You don't even have to talk to me.

You don't have to listen to what I say.

You don't have to talk to me.

You don't have to talk to me.

You don't have to talk to me.

Verse 2:

I could never tell you that I loved you,

though I tried

so many times.

And it began to bother you

I could feel it,

I could see it in your eyes.

The words you wanted to hear they never came.

And the words that I used they weren't the same

You wanted me to say I loved you,

but that's one thing that I could never do.

Chorus 1:

Chorus 2:

I could never tell you that I loved you.

Now you don't have to say it anymore.

You don't have to kiss me or say goodbye.

I can find my own way to the door.

Chorus 1:

(Repeat and Fade)
