Talking to Myself Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been messed up of late
Been talking to myself a lot
But I'm trying to embrace
Just teetering on self-destruct
[Refrain]
I'm sorry if the music is too loud for us to talk
But when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts
[Verse 2]
I hope this doesn't turn you off
Still I need some comfort here
Not looking for your sympathy
Just help me not to disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
And so, I make the music too loud for us to talk
'Cause when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts
[Chorus]
'Cause I need something
Oh, I need someone
My heart is running on fumes
Can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go
When I need perspective and the darkness seems relentless?
I've been talking to myself
I've been talking to myself
I've been messed up of late
Been talking to myself a lot
But I'm trying to embrace
Just teetering on self-destruct
[Refrain]
I'm sorry if the music is too loud for us to talk
But when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts
[Verse 2]
I hope this doesn't turn you off
Still I need some comfort here
Not looking for your sympathy
Just help me not to disappear
[Pre-Chorus]
And so, I make the music too loud for us to talk
'Cause when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts
[Chorus]
'Cause I need something
Oh, I need someone
My heart is running on fumes
Can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go
When I need perspective and the darkness seems relentless?
I've been talking to myself
I've been talking to myself
[Verse 3]
Sure you never meant to be so cruel
You lit a fire under my feet
Self-medicate to hide the truth
And that always brings out the beast
[Pre-Chorus]
And so, I make the music too loud for us to talk
So when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts
[Chorus]
'Cause I need something
I need someone
My heart is running on fumes
Can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go
When I need perspective and the darkness seems relentless?
I've been talking to myself
Been talking to myself
[Bridge]
Show me a place, oh-oh-oh
Where I can catch my breath
Where we can start again
[Chorus]
'Cause I need something
Oh, I need someone
My heart is running on fumes
Can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go
When I need perspective and the darkness seems relentless?
I've been talking to myself
I've been talking to myself, ooh-ooh
Been talking to myself, ooh-ooh
I've been talking to myself, yeah, yeah
Sure you never meant to be so cruel
You lit a fire under my feet
Self-medicate to hide the truth
And that always brings out the beast
[Pre-Chorus]
And so, I make the music too loud for us to talk
So when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts
[Chorus]
'Cause I need something
I need someone
My heart is running on fumes
Can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go
When I need perspective and the darkness seems relentless?
I've been talking to myself
Been talking to myself
[Bridge]
Show me a place, oh-oh-oh
Where I can catch my breath
Where we can start again
[Chorus]
'Cause I need something
Oh, I need someone
My heart is running on fumes
Can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go
When I need perspective and the darkness seems relentless?
I've been talking to myself
I've been talking to myself, ooh-ooh
Been talking to myself, ooh-ooh
I've been talking to myself, yeah, yeah

What did Rag'n'Bone Man say about "Talking to Myself"?
Genius Answer
It’s a really good song, but I didn’t want it on the record. When I listen to it now, I find it kind of pathetic. It was a time when I was feeling really shit. I’d just split up with my missus and was spending all the time by myself and living in my own head, being a bit sorry for myself. It’s a difficult one to play live. I was like, ‘Look, it could be on the record, but, please, we can’t make this a single, because I don’t want to have to go to radio and do promo and be all sad while I’m singing it.’
