I Don’t Understand What You’re Trying to Say

Your lips are movin’, but the meaning’s lost
Feels like we’re payin’ a heavy cost
Your eyes are distant, your tone is gray
And I don't understand what you're trying to say

Is it over now, or just a phase?
Am I supposed to read between the haze?
All I want is some clarity
But you’re speakin’ in riddles to me

Every sigh is a question mark
And every glance is cold and dark
I reach out but you pull away
And I don’t understand what you’re tryin’ to say

Say it plain, say it true
Whatever it is, I’ll stand with you
But don’t leave me in the gray
Spell it out or walk away

If it’s goodbye, let it be clear
Don’t let silence fill the air with fear
Just tell me the truth today
‘Cause I don’t understand what you’re trying to say

Say it loud or say goodbye
But I can’t read hearts with my hands tied
