The cup cracked on the table’s edge
And I remembered a coffee forgotten up north
A lady lingers, longing for my voice
Or a cheerful man who questioned beauty
In the room, someone sighed deeply
And I saw myself again in the old cinema
The reel burned right at the end of the kiss
And everyone clapped anyway
If every laugh is a living file
Why hold back what made it worthwhile?
You never stop talking, you say
But if I stop, who’s gonna tell?
All the chaos in ordinary days
That only makes sense when we dwell
You never stop talking, I know
But someday, you'll smile and recall
All the tales you never cared to hear
That you’ll repeat without knowing at all
I don’t speak from habit or pride
But from fear of losing what can’t be written
Time erases with hands so soft
You only notice once it’s gone
If time flies and days disappear
Let me speak what brought me here
You never stop talking, you say
But if I stop, who’s gonna tell?
All the nonsense that somehow means more
When it’s aged by stories we sell
You never stop talking, I know
But one day you’ll stop to hear
And laugh, though you’ll never admit
That my voice brought a little cheer
I don’t speak just to impress
I talk so life won’t forget
Let words leave behind a trace
In a world that moves too fast
You never stop talking, you say
But if I stop, who’s gonna tell?
All the pieces that keep things real
When memory starts to rebel
You never stop talking, I know
But that’s just how I remain
Even when the world turns still
And silence is all that remains
