The Conversation

Any time we have a conversation
It's never what you wanna hear
It's funny how much words can hurt you
Even after all these years
I wanna make an observation
Bout how you tear your world apart
And every time I try to tell you
You blame it on your fickle heart

How they're hurting you (hurting you)
When they're not deserving you (deserving you)
Are so, are so afraid of you (afraid of you)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion

Give it up (Give you up)
I'm never gonna hold you up (hold you up)
You've always been afraid of love (afraid of love)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion

Waking up is never easy
So why don't you come over here
Tell me 'bout the dreams that haunt you
Tell me 'bout your secret fears
I wanna change your obsession
If only I could make you see
How it's all your own creation
That's bringing you this misery

How they're hurting you (hurting you)
When they're not deserving you (deserving you)
Are so, are so afraid of you (afraid of you)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion

Give it up (Give you up)
I'm never gonna hold you up (hold you up)
You've always been afraid of love (afraid of love)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion

The words you hear in your head
Were never said, were never said
The heart you break, you mistake
For me instead, for me instead

How they're hurting you (hurting you)
When they're not deserving you (deserving you)
Are so, are so afraid of you (afraid of you)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion

Give it up (Give you up)
I'm never gonna hold you up (hold you up)
You've always been afraid of love (afraid of love)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion

Hurting you (Hurting you)
When they're not deserving you (deserving you)
Are so, are so afraid of you (afraid of you)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion

Give it up (Give you up)
I'm never gonna hold you up (hold you up)
You've always been afraid of love (afraid of love)
It's time to have a con-ver-sa-tion
