[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
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, you'd stayed too long

Let's be honest, we were strongest
Till 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 'em yours, you call 'em 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
