Talk Lyrics

Cover art for Talk lyrics by Kodaline

This song is about someone who is ending a relationship with someone where the love has been lost. The person can remember the happiness they once felt, but that is no longer relevant, it can not be rekindled. The person gave them everything they wanted but it was built up by promises that could not be kept. They will never forget the person and will hold fond memories but no more can be made. Everything they used to feel and say to the person has now stopped being honest and from the heart, they just said it because they felt like they had to and could no longer maintain the lie to themselves that it would work. They are explaining that talking about their past is unnecessary because it won't change anything. They have been thinking about this person before but it doesn't feel the same and they know that it is over. In time they see them again and realise that the 'truth got lost' and they never explained the truth to the person and they wish they could rewind to be honest to them about why it ended but, its too late, it no longer matters to either of them. They are saying that what happened was inevitable, and although they tried it was unfixable.
