The Way We Feel

Let’s talk about the way you feel
I get the impression you’re somewhere else tonight
Let’s talk about something real
I know it scares you what’s bottled up inside

I’m not here to drag it out, I’m not here to make things worse
I’m not after empty tears, although they’re the best healer for hurt
I’ve seen it sitting there, right behind those sunset eyes
Now it’s time to let it go

Don’t give me all that ‘man up man’ stuff
Don’t give me ‘big girls don’t cry’
Gimme the real shit, gimme the worst bit
You know it’s ok to cry
No more believing you’re not enough
No more ‘it’s not a big deal’
Just gimme a minute, all that we need is
Let’s talk about the way we feel

Let’s talk about the way we feel (hey hey, hey yeah)
I bet we’re holding on to something that isn’t ours
Tangled up in stitches that never seem to heal (hey hey, hey yeah)
Forgiveness never comes without leaving it in the past

We don’t have to drag it out, it’s not about making it worse
We’ve cried our empty tears, we know they’re the best healer for hurt
But when we feel it sitting there, right behind our sunset eyes
We know it’s time to let it go

Don’t give me all that ‘man up man’ stuff
Don’t give me ‘big girls don’t cry’
Gimme the real shit, gimme the worst bit
You know it’s ok to cry
No more believing you’re not enough
No more ‘it’s not a big deal’
Just gimme a minute, all that we need is
Let’s talk about the way we feel

The way the way the way, the way we feel
The way the way the way, the way we feel
The way the way the way, the way we feel
The way the way the way, let’s talk about the way we feel

Don’t give me all that ‘man up man’ stuff
Don’t give me ‘big girls don’t cry’
Gimme the real shit, gimme the worst bit
You know it’s ok to cry
No more believing you’re not enough
No more ‘it’s not a big deal’
Just gimme a minute, all that we need is
Let’s talk about the way we feel

The way the way the way, the way we feel
The way the way the way, the way we feel
The way the way the way, the way we feel
The way the way the way, the way we feel

Don’t give me all that ‘man up man’ stuff
Don’t give me ‘big girls don’t cry’
Gimme the real shit, gimme the worst bit
You know it’s ok to cry
No more believing you’re not enough
No more ‘it’s not a big deal’
Just gimme a minute, all that we need is

Let’s talk about the way we feel
