about
“Have you ever felt like someone you were close to doesn’t like the person you’ve become? Speak Soon is about that feeling. It encourages you to move on from the those who aren’t supportive of your growth, because you’re worth more than that!
Maybe in the future, you’ll meet up, but you probably won’t… instead you’ll text them ‘Speak Soon’ with no intention of speaking at all.” Maeve
lyrics
We’re just not soulmates,
I know we were mates,
But we’ve moved on, grown up, grown apart.
I know we were mates,
But we’re not soulmates,
Now we’ve, moved on, grown up, grown apart.
I’m sorry that you miss the way that I used to be, But I don’t want to talk any more.
I ain’t got the time for subtulties,
But I don’t want to talk any more.
I ain’t got the time for pleasantries,
Take a hint from me,
Take a hint from me.
I ain’t got the time or the energy,
This is it for me,
This is it for me.
But…
We’ll…
Speak Soon, speak soon, speak soon. Speak soon, speak soon, speak soon.
Speak soon, speak soon, speak soon.
We’ll, speak soon…
So in the name of self-care,
I’m gunna end this here,
We’ve had our fun but now let’s move along.
So in the name of self-care,
Surely you are aware,
That this is it, our time has been and gone.
I’m sorry that you miss the way that I used to be, But I don’t want to talk any more.
I ain’t got the time for subtulties,
But I don’t want to talk any more.
I ain’t got the time for pleasantries,
Take a hint from me,
Take a hint from me.
I ain’t got the time or the energy,
This is it for me,
This is it for me.
But…
We’ll…
Speak Soon, speak soon, speak soon. Speak soon, speak soon, speak soon.
Speak soon, speak soon, speak soon.
We’ll, speak soon…
We’ll have a catch-up,
In five years time,
Over coffee,
Or expensive wine.
You’ll say you miss me,
But I’m just fine,
I’ll say let’s ‘speak soon’,
But I won’t make the time…
Cause…
I ain’t got the time for pleasantries, Take a hint from me,
Take a hint from me.
I ain’t got the time or the energy, This is it for me,
This is it for me.
But…
We’ll…
Speak Soon, speak soon, speak soon. Speak soon, speak soon, speak soon. Speak soon, speak soon, speak soon. We’ll, speak soon…
