about

"'Don’t Want to Talk About It' features a more spare arrangement, squaring the focus on Dowd’s voice as she steps into the shoes of a man who drinks as a substitute for coping. Rather than judge her character, though, she empathizes with his loneliness by singing from his perspective – 'You look surprised that I pray/God’s the only one worth talking to these days.'" - Americana Highways

lyrics

I don’t want to talk about it
You wouldn’t understand
I’m no hero
I’m just a man
You don’t know the things I’ve done
If I told you would you run

They say put the bottle down
I know I’m hard to be around
What’s wrong with a drink or two to clear my mind
Without that look from you every time

I just want to be alone
Let the phone ring
Or tell them I’m not home
I don’t want to talk about it

You think I’ve missed my mark
Bet you think God is afraid of the dark
Well I’ve seen him there by my side
He’s not the one running to hide

You look surprised that I pray
God’s the only one worth talking to these days

And I don’t want to be alone
I swore I wouldn’t bring this shit home
But who are you to tell me what is right and wrong
I don’t want to talk about it

I don’t want to be alone
Don’t want to hear you say you’re sorry
What’s done is done
Things that I can’t change
I can’t take back
And I can’t run from
