Take the Sting Out Lyrics

	Lately, we ain’t been communicating
	beyond what needs to be said and done.
	Short sharp words like arrows
	that pierce our skin and let the poison run.
	You’re showing no emotion,
	I don’t think it’s noble to be proud.
	We take it for granted that we love each other,
	but can’t bring ourselves to say it out loud.

	I hope we find a way to take the sting out.

	Yesterday, we were driving through an echo of silence.
	I had to turn the radio on,
	standing frozen on the edge of the rocks looking down,
	both of us afraid to take a dive,
	and when I finally tried
	to break the surface nice and slow,
	the fall was clumsy.
	I wanted out.
	How come you would not throw me a rope?

	I hope we help each other cope.

	I want to talk to you without making excuses,
	or putting on a mask because I feel ashamed.
	Want you to hear me out,
	not make a judgement call.
	You know you used to be that kind of friend,
	so show me some emotion.
	We both know it’s been too long.

	I hope we find the connection
	that made us strong.
