communication breakdown

© Asbo Slipz 2023


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 under-

Stand, 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 want to touch you but

You’re a fortress, impregnable and cold as

Steel, I seach 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
