Communication Breakdown

Here we go, off again
Did I say something really stupid
Not for the first time
I never learn
I shoot my mouth off and you burn
I didn't mean to cause you pain

We never talk about it, we soldier on
We hide the cuts pretend we're strong

Didn't mean to be cruel
I'm a fool it is pretty obvious
I get obnoxious
When I get drunk
A lack of judgement once again
I didn't mean to cause you pain

We never talk about it, you shut the door
I build a bridge, you build a wall

And who's to blame?
It comes from misconnection, alienation
It's such a shame
No need for this communication breakdown

I can see how it seems
So I beg you for your forgiveness
A messy business
I understand
Why you would hesitate to take
Another chance on me again

We never talk about it, we close our eyes
So this should come as no surprise

Communication is the key
Communication is the key
If there is hope for you and me

Lying here in our bed
I wanna touch you but you're a fortress
Impregnable
And cold as steel
I search for gaps but I can't feel
A way to get inside your armour

Could we just talk about it? Just let me in
Open the drawbridge let's begin again

And who's to blame?
It comes from misconception, alienation
It's such a shame
No need for this communication breakdown

We need to talk about it
We need to find
A way to make it to the other side
We need to talk about it
We need a plan
We need to give ourselves a second chance
We need to talk about it
