[Verse 1]
There's still a trace of him in every room
Vase of dead flowers, vinyls we danced to
When my friends ask, I say I'm doing fine
I don't let a drop leave my eyes
I stay busy, keep the plates on a spin
Never mind the state that my heart's in
A girl can only keep it up for so long
Tonight I run out of strength to be strong
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna talk to nobody
Don't wanna hear nothing but sad songs
If I wake up in the morning to sun shining
I'm keeping the blinds closed all day long
I've got the doors locked, my phone off
And a box of red wine
Got all I need for breaking down in an empty house, mate
For cryin' out loud
[Verse 2]
No need to try to fight these tears
No need to hide, no one can hear
And no, I ain't saying that it's healthy
But maybe it's the one thing that'll help me
[Chorus]
So I don't wanna talk to nobody
Don't wanna hear nothing but sad songs
If I wake up in the morning to sun shining
I'm keeping the blinds closed all day long
I've got the doors locked, my phone off
And a box of red wine
Got all I need for breaking down in an empty house, mate
For cryin' out loud
[Bridge]
I'm sure out there, there's some kind of silver lining
But right now I'm not ready to find it
[Chorus]
So I don't wanna talk to nobody
I don't wanna talk to nobody
I don't wanna talk to nobody
Don't wanna hear nothing but sad songs
If I wake up in the morning to sun shining
I'm keeping the blinds closed all day long
I've got the doors locked, my phone off
And a box of red wine
Got all I need for breaking down in an empty house, mate
For cryin' out loud
For cryin' out loud
