My Interpretation

  • You talk about life, you talk about death
    And everything in between
    Like it's nothing and the words are easy

    You talk about me, you talk about you
    And everything I do
    Like it's somethin' that needs repeating

    I don't need an alibi
    Or for you to realize
    The things we left unsaid
    Are only taking space up in our heads

    Make it my fault, win the game
    Point the finger, place the blame
    And curse me up and down
    Doesn't matter now

    'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
    This is not about emotion
    I don't need a reason not to care
    What you say, or what happened in the end
    This is my interpretation
    And it don't, don't make sense

    The first two weeks turn into ten
    I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen
    It doesn't really matter

    If half of what you said is true
    And half of what I didn't do could be different
    Would it make you better?

    If we forget the things we know
    Would we have somewhere to go?
    The only way is down
    I can see that now

    'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
    This is not about emotion
    I don't need a reason not to care
    What you say, or what happened in the end
    This is my interpretation
    And it don't, don't make sense

    It's really not such a sacrifice

    If I ever talk to again
    This is not about emotion
    I don't need a reason not to care
    What you say, or what happened in the end
    This is my interpretation
    And it don't, don't make sense

    And it don't have to make no sense to you at all
    'Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah Writer/s: Jodi Marr, Mica Penniman, Richie Supa
