We Better Talk This Over

The words

A man suggests to his partner that their relationship is over and they should part without bitterness.

The singer addresses a lover after things have gone wrong between them, proposing that they sit down and settle it before going separate ways. He moves between regret, wry humour and resignation, admitting his own confusion while insisting that staying together would only hurt them both. The song keeps a steady, upbeat pace that contrasts with its sad subject. It plays like a grown-up farewell rather than an angry one.
