I Don't Want To Talk About It Lyrics

I can tell by your eyes
That you've probably been cryin' forever
And the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you
They're a mirror

I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
If I stand all alone

Will the shadow hide the color of my heart?
Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears

The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you
They're a mirror
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke my heart
If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
I don't want to talk about it
How you broke this ol' heart

If I stay here just a little bit longer
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart?
My heart, whoa, heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is a lovely song, i love the music the melody and the lyrics. It's about losing our loved one breaking up and don't understand why the person we have trusted sooo much has abandoned us....
