"Could You Not" lyrics

Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so

Small talk, so cheap, don't speak
Play me on repeat
Play me on repeat
Play me on repeat
Play me on
Neat like whiskey
Beats like Whitney
Skin so fair
Got a light, like yeah
Got a light right here
Can I borrow it, yeah
Can I clear the air
I'm about to share
See, I'm not so mathematical
I'm not such a radical
But I make it rad
And then I made him sad
'Cos I never had
The same feel he had
Oh, you mean the one he had
When he said he had that

Early morning sickness when he came around
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Now you wanna give this a second thought
I don't wanna hear this
Just give him a call
Or could you not
Could you not bare to tell him
Ok you better say it
Go on and say it
But could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so

Or could you not
Could you not feel it too
Feel me separate from you
Golden girl, castaway, baby blue
Drifting far from your island
Further into the sunset
So far off in the distance
Further still till the rock hit
Never checked out the milage
Didn't map out the currents
Shipped it off to different continents
And am I making sense
No I'm making stories
It's awful boring to play it safe when
You know your more than just a ship with an anchor, ball and chain
I should thank you
The things that you made me feel when I was down
So valuable
Still so young guess I'm malleable
Shook me up now I'm someone new
I feel so bad for putting you through
A purgatory, then a mortuary, then a funeral
And was it necessary, no
Is this any clearer, no
Rather have that

Early morning sickness when he came around
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Now you wanna give this a second thought
I don't wanna hear this
Just give him a call
Or could you not
Could you not bare to tell him
Ok you better say it
Go on and say it
But could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so

I don't really have an explanation
I know you're probably mad at me and I totally get that
I just wish you'd never met me
There's some things I feel like maybe you thought you knew about me
But you really don't
Anyway, I'm sorry
Maybe call me, maybe
(I don't really have an explanation)
(Maybe call me, maybe)
Still got that

Early morning sickness when he came around
Thought it was a good fit underneath his arm
Now you wanna give this a second thought
I don't wanna hear this
Just give him a call
Or could you not
Could you not bare to tell him
Ok you better say it
Go on and say it
But could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
(Could you not speak so loud)
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud

Can we keep it on the down low
Still sharing a pillow
I'll be there when the cards fall
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so loud
Could you not speak so
