[Verse 1]
Another day, another welcome mat
A door engraved with twenty-eight, I won't remember that
These corridors, they never lead to anywhere
Another face, a late reminder of
How I'm so used to being used
So, I don't carry love
My hands, they pay respect to what they once could bare
Oh, how I wish you'd hold them now, but you're not there

[Chorus]
Why don't we talk?
Why don't we talk?
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, please can you hold me?
That's all I ask
No more than that
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, why can't you hold me?
I'm, I'm, I'm

[Verse 2]
And all it was, I know, was wishing you'd not stall
And hoping I preserved the coating on these pebble walls
But misconstrued, I'll always lose what I can't solve
The hanging on to ambiguity
Each stone I hold's a sequence shown on every road that we
Followed but, now we don't speak, no
[Chorus]
Why don't we talk?
Why don't we talk?
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, please can you hold me?
That's all I ask
No more than that
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, why can't you hold me?
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
Know I'm, I'm, I'm

[Bridge]
You're serving a purpose
In a life that hurts
But bounds to the surface
You'll forget what it's worth
You've never looked better
Suppressed and reserved

[Chorus]
Why don't we talk?
Why don't we talk?
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, please can you hold me?
That's all I ask
No more than that
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, why can't you hold me?
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
Know I'm, I'm, I'm
