"Small Talk" lyrics

It's been a few weeks
I thought I'd reach out
I hope this message finds you well
And you're doin' alright
I kinda miss you
No, that's a lie
I miss you so much that it hurts
And I cry every night
It's in the mornings
That's when I remember
That you're gone
You won't be calling my phone ever
So, I go on a walk
I talk to myself
It might seem crazy
But it's the only thing that helps

Everything is changing
Why do we have to speak like strangers?

I can't do small talk with you
'Cause every time that I do
All I wanna say is something really big
Like "Don't you wanna come home?
I hate bein' alone"
All our conversations leave me wanting more
'Cause we'll always be too big
Yeah, we'll always be too big for small talk

You sound so formal
So far removed
From the lazy ways we'd spend our afternoons
But what can I expect? (Can I expect)
'Cause we're not together (We're not together)
So, now all we talk about is work and weather
It's so serious
God, I hate this
Why are you acting like you haven't seen me naked? (Seen me naked)
All our history
Just forgotten
Now I understand what it means to be heartbroken

Everything is changing (All has changed)
Why do we have to speak like strangers?

I can't do small talk with you
'Cause every time that I do
All I wanna say is something really big
Like "Don't you wanna come home?
I hate bein' alone"
All our conversations leave me wanting more
'Cause we'll always be too big
Yeah, we'll always be too big for small talk

Oh, God
It's like grieving someone
Grieving someone who's still alive
Like, not many don't wanna, like, be forward
Without this person in my life in the same way
But I have to
And that's, like, the hardest part
