Talk Is Cheap

Talk is cheap, and I should know
I've given my everything, and it wasn't close
People mean well, and still make a mess
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath

Lately I'm losing my appetite for all the pretty young girls and the socialites
who just talk, and this is what we do we just talk

Watch em waste breath on a magazine or rehash what the television shows all mean
It's just talk, and this is what we do we just talk

Some people don't know how they really feel
Some people can't talk about what is real
And I can never chit chat all day long
Some people just look for an open ear
Some people don't care what you want to hear
And everybody's talking while they are stringing me along

I don't know about what to do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend the time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap

Lately I'm tired of politics and listening to the never ending arguments
That just stall, and this is what we do we just talk
I've never known someone to change their mind
After the heated debate or move the moral lines
We just crossed, this is what we do we just talk

Some people be cute and they draw the line
Some people can't choose over left and right
But I could never stomach all that creep
Some people don't care enough
Some people get scared enough
To get talked into something that they think they should believe

Oh, I don't know about what to do
Cause talk is cheap
