After it was over,
After the crying and
All the angry shouting
When weve both just given up
And you turned and closed the door
I didnt know what was wrong anymore
Than I did before
Maybe it was over
When you stopped trying
Or when I started doubting
Maybe you dont care enough
Maybe Im just scared youll go
But maybe whats really wrong is that
I still dont really know
Talk to me quietly, peacefully
Tell me what to do
Talk to me honestly, dont you see I need to talk to you
I need to hear that were okay
And say the things I meant to say
So, talk to me before
Before its really over
When it all was starting
When I first met you
We couldnt keep from talking
I knew everything you felt
And I felt you knew me too
Now Im talking to myself
Or Im just yelling back at you
How this could have happened
How I could loose you
Or you could think to leave me
After where we started from
Im too dumb I guess to see
But you cant go till I do
Any you know you owe that to me
Talk to me quietly, peacefully
I dont want to fight
Talk to me nice and slow
So Ill know how to make it right
Im not afraid to take the blame
Im just afraid well stay the same
And we wont talk until
Until its really over
I dont understand why youre always mad
What could I have done?
What could be so bad?
Dont you want to know why I never sleep?
Look what weve become from all these secrets
That we keep
When its really over
Cause I cant take it
Or youve walked out for the last time
When these years are just a dream
And those tears somehow have dried
I cant wake up in my bed
And regret what we never tried
So, please dont say its over
Dont even think it
Just think about the good times
Think of all weve got to loose
And not whos done what to who
And when it comes time to choose
Think of who would still die for you
Talk to me quietly, peacefully
Make me understand
Say what you need to say
By the way-take me by the hand
The only thing I ask of you
Is please for once just listen to
And talk to me before
Before its really over
Talk to me
Before its really over
