[Verse 1]
Our missing pieces walked between us
When we were moving through the door
You called them mine, I called them yours
You would make me get so angry
But then I'd stay there on my own
We've both made peace, but all alone
[Chorus]
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
[Verse 2]
I kept reading hidden meanings
You would rage how I was wrong
That life was too short, and you'd stayed too long
Let's be honest, we were strongest
Until I let you drag me down
I was sorry then, I'm not now
[Bridge]
Some get a garden heart
Some get a riverside
Some get a house that lets the years go by
[Verse 3]
That life has ended, you seem contented
While the graveside flowers die
I call them yours, you call them mine
Nothing makes silence like experience
There's a message in my eyes
You better love yourself, 'cause I've tried
[Chorus]
Some call it talking blues (talking blues)
Some call it bitter truth
Some call it getting even in a song
