Don’t Call Me Shirley Lyrics by Negative Thirty-Two

2022

(Verse)
I need something
Maybe just some place to go
Because who we were then feels like a lifetime ago
I bite my tongue, now I speak in whispers
I swear to God it’s so familiar
I misplaced the thorn in my side
The wound’s not healed, but it’s less fresh with time
You plant new roots, but the thoughts still wander
Its faces change, but it’s the same monster
(Pre-Chorus)
So, did you call because you wanted to talk to me?
Or was it just that I’m the only one who’s not asleep?
(Chorus)
I could write a book of reminders
To break a promise or two
Do I still speak with the same voice you remember I used to?
(I swear I can speak, i just don’t know what to say)
The fragile words that your heart spills
To some, just ring out of tune
Like sentiment of a moment passed, I never held on to
(I swear I can speak, I just don’t know what to say)
(Verse 2)
Do you feel alone now?
Did you make that house a home?
Remember when we used to find ourselves with nowhere to go?
I’m saving face, but i feel so see-through
Like how you hide your scars with tattoos
Contentious years can teach us so many things
Like how to fight, but not how to fix anything
I didn’t find relief in distance
I just read the words as they were written
(Pre-Chorus)
So, did you call because you wanted to talk to me?
(We’re tethered, we falter, so please don’t even bother)
Or was it just that I’m the only one who’s not asleep?
(Chorus)
I could write a book of reminders
To break a promise or two
Do I still speak with the same voice you remember I used to?
(I swear I can speak, i just don’t know what to say)
The fragile words that your heart spills
To some, just ring out of tune
Like sentiment of a moment passed, I never held on to
(I swear I can speak, I just don’t know what to say)
(Chorus)
I could write a book of reminders
To break a promise or two
Do I still speak with the same voice you remember I used to?
(I swear I can speak, i just don’t know what to say)
The fragile words that your heart spills
To some, just ring out of tune
Like sentiment of a moment passed, I never held on to
(I swear I can speak, I just don’t know what to say)
