I Don’t Want to Talk About It Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I don't wanna 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? Oh, oh, my heart

[Verse 2]
If I stand all alone, will the shadows hide the color of my heart?
(Blue for the tears, black for the night's fears)
The star in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror

[Chorus]
I don't wanna 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? Oh, oh, my heart

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I don't wanna 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? Oh, oh, my heart
[Outro]
My heart, oh, oh, my, heart

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
