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
