Lately I Just Don’t Know What to Say
By Ted Horrell
Lately I just don’t know what to say
Everything I say’s been said before
What if I said nothing for a day
Would it make you trust me less or more
I’m so tired of all the things I say to myself
I think maybe I’ll take a walk, though it probably won’t help
Lately I just don’t have much to say
And even when I speak I have regrets
If I said nothing for a day
Would it make folks more or less upset
There’s too much value on the way we make our voices heard
I’m texting, posting, writing but I haven’t said a word
Can I have significance if I bring nothing new?
Does it bother you? Should it bother you?
Lately I’ve run out of things to say
Thought it would be bad thing, but it’s not
If I say nothing for a day
Maybe I can come up with a thought
Like sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
