	Story Behind the Song this was inspired by events in my own life, though it doesn't exactly describe what's going on here. I wrote it all at once. this simple, understated version was nearly a first take Lyrics ALMOST TALKED ABOUT IT By Martin Holsinger I brought you bags of groceries On a winter afternoon And though I was in a hurry And said I’d be leaving soon You shared a cup of tea with me And asked me what was new We talked about the weather And the kids and ‘bout your ma We talked about the government And ‘bout our gardens too But as I rose to leave you there Deep in my heart I knew That once again we hadn’t talked The way we used to do Chor: And I almost talked about it Yes I almost talked about it Almost talked about the thing That we don’t talk about no more But I didn’t talk about it No I didn’t talk about it Just said goodbye and kept my smile on As I walked on out your door Now we don’t get together Quite the way we used to do And I’ve been there with someone else Since I was there with you I’m not the man you used to know That kind of makes me glad But something’s lost between us I feel it, and feel sad Chor. I almost talked about it Will I ever open up? And would you open if I did Or would you just stay shut? I’m afraid to lose what’s left of us If I speak from my heart I’m afraid you’ll smile at me and say “Let’s make a brand-new start.” Chor. Will I ever talk about it? Well you know I kind of doubt it The feeling fades a little further Every time that I say “no” Will I ever talk about it? Well you know I kind of doubt it My heart just grows a little colder Every time that I say “no” My heart just grows a little colder Every time that I say “no”
