Song-Ze Yu reimagines Charlie Puth's "We Don't Talk Anymore" with darker lyrics about loss and isolation. The reinterpretation uses metaphors of overdose, graves, and drowning to capture the anguish of a broken relationship and the inability to move forward.
I lost the wonder. Why I can't move on? Just the way you did this so easily. Don't wanna know what filters and frames tonight. If it's the lonely I'll do so tight. The way I did before. I overdosed on another love with Cindy. Now I can't get out of that grave. Oh, it's such a shame. We don't talk anymore. We don't talk anymore. The ice is no broken into her eyes. It's slowly unto the tides, away under the floor. I overdosed. She no longer in love with the king. Now I can't get out of my grave. Oh, it's such a shame. We don't talk anymore. We don't talk anymore. We don't talk anymore like we used to. We don't love anymore. —It's Tony or Tuesday night, the way I did before. I overdosed on the non-verbal love you gave. Now I've got to get out and make me breathe. Oh, it's such a shame we don't talk anymore. We don't talk anymore. We don't talk anymore like we used to. We don't love anymore, almost always more. Oh, we don't talk anymore like we used to.
