Talking

I hate when I feel bad for talking,
But that's all I can do.
I talk and talk and talk and talk,
Just trying to get through.

I hate when I feel bad for talking,
But sometimes I can only speak,
Because if I hold it in,
I'll drown in words,
And that'll only make me weak.

I hate when I feel bad for talking,
Especially about the things I love.
Because no matter what I do,
Sometimes it's just not good enough.

I hate when I feel bad for talking,
I'm slowing drifting away.
Because if maybe someone would listen to me,
I might just choose to stay.

I hate when I feel bad for talking,
I'm going to go now.
I will leave the stage with my bouquet,
I'll leave and take a bow.

I hated when I felt bad for talking,
It made me go insane.
I'd hoped someone would care to listen,
But maybe I was just too vain...
