Lyrics
Verse 1
Every morning I wake up, coffee cup in my hand,
She don't say "Good mornin'," just tells me 'bout her plans.
Ain't no sugar in her voice, no honey in her tone,
Feels like I'm livin' with a stranger in my home.
Chorus
Ohhh, the way she talks to me,
Cuts me deeper than a blade could ever be.
Ain't no soft and gentle, just hard and cold and free,
Yeah, the way she talks to me,
Lord, it's killin' me.
Verse 2
Used to whisper sweet nothin's, make me feel like a king,
Now every word she speaks got a heavy, bitter sting.
I try to hold my tongue, try to let it slide,
But the weight of her words, Lord, they break me inside.
Chorus
Ohhh, the way she talks to me,
Like thunder rollin' over a quiet sea.
I'm drownin' in the silence, in the misery,
Yeah, the way she talks to me,
Lord, it's buryin' me.
Bridge
I ain't askin' for diamonds, I ain't beggin' for gold,
Just a little bit of kindness when the nights get cold.
But her voice is a storm, and I can't get free,
I'm chained to the hurt in the way she talks to me.
Final Chorus/Outro
Ohhh, the way she talks to me,
Like she don't even care if I ever leave.
One day I might go, just to find my peace,
'Cause the way she talks to me...
Lord, it won't let me be.
