I don’t mind listening

But I won’t talk about the weather, no.

I’m not rude,

Hey, how are you?

Oh, that question makes me blue,

‘Cause no one ever really answers it,

Awkward silences aren’t real,

When you’re feeling insecure.

Tell me how much you feel,

Something honest, something real,

Break the surface,
A E
Of your mind.
