Lack of shared experience
It’s hard to engage
When there’s nothing to say
And I don’t wanna mislead
Reaching for an anecdote
To fill the open spaces
Coming up empty handed
We can’t relate to what we’ve never felt
Good intentions tend to get lost in translation
We just complicate with every attempt to
Bring the conversation back to ourselves
We claim to be so receptive
It’s easy to tell that you’re hardly listening
Full attention set on the words you’d like to say next
Anyone can sense a sentiment devoid of sympathy
You haven’t heard a word I’ve said
I need you to stay with me
I’ve got a lot bottled up that I’m ready to let out
We can’t relate to what we’ve never felt
Good intentions tend to get lost in translation
We just complicate with every attempt to
Bring the conversation back to ourselves
True communication starts when we admit
We don’t know what to say
