Some people need a drink just to get through the day
Some people need to pray
Some work, some run, some run away
To get away from the pain
But me, I need to climb inside a song
When life goes wrong

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about
Sometimes a melody's the only thing that knows what I'm feelin'
When I'm feelin' like I wanna shake my fist at the ceiling, yeah
I tell my story with the wood and wire from my guitar
The ones that got away, the broken dreams, the battle scars
What I hold in, the music let's out
That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

So, close your eyes tonight and put your headphones on
And listen to my song
I'm gonna heal ya, tell ya that you're not alone
You know you're not alone
Somebody somewhere out there's been there too
Just like you

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about
Sometimes a melody's the only thing that knows what I'm feelin'
When I'm feelin' like I wanna shake my fist at the ceiling, yeah
I tell my story with the wood and wire from my guitar
The ones that got away, the broken dreams, the battle scars
What I hold in, the music let's out
That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

Let the kick drum be your heartbeat
Let the guitar be your heart strings
Yeah

That's why I sing about what I can't talk about
Sometimes a melody's the only thing that knows what I'm feelin'
When I'm feelin' like I wanna shake my fist at the ceiling, yeah
I tell my story with the wood and wire from my guitar
The ones that got away, the broken dreams, the battle scars
What I hold in, the music let's out
That's why I sing about what I can't talk about

What I can't talk about
What I can't talk about
What I can't talk about
What I can't talk about

Let the kick drum be your heartbeat
Let the guitar be your heart
