Small Talk Lyrics

Isn't it strange that you used to know me?
All the highs and lows and in-betweens
And now you see me and just say, "Hey"
Isn't it weird that you've seen me naked?
We had conversations 'bout forever
Now it's 'bout the weather, okay

And I just can't believe
We went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime
Now just memories
We've gone from strangers to lovers to strangers

Acting like we never met
Faking like we'd just forget
We were lovers
And now there's nothing left but small talk
Had every inch of your skin
There's nowhere your hands haven't been
Ain't it funny?
'Cause now there's nothing left but small talk
Small talk
Now-now there's nothing left but small talk
Small talk (baby)
Now-now there's nothing left but small talk

Isn't it wild that I know your weakness?
And everybody at the party thinks
That you're the best since sliced bread
And isn't it awkward I got a new somebody?
And honestly it'll probably be a while before we can just be friends

I just can't believe
We went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime
Now just memories
We've gone from strangers to lovers to strangers
(Now there's nothing left)

Acting like we never met
Faking like we'd just forget
We were lovers
And now there's nothing left but small talk
Had every inch of your skin
There's nowhere your hands haven't been
Ain't it funny?
'Cause now there's nothing left but small talk
Small talk
Now-now there's nothing left but small talk
Small talk (baby)
Now-now there's nothing left but small talk

And I just can't believe
We went from strangers to lovers to strangers (oh, no)

Acting like we never met
Faking like we'd just forget
We were lovers
We were, we were lovers

Now there's nothing left
(Now there's nothing left)

What is the Meaning of Small Talk?

Navigating the complexities of post-breakup interactions, Katy Perry's lyrics delve into the awkward transition from deep intimacy to superficial exchanges. The song reflects on how two people who once shared everything, including secrets and vulnerabilities, now resort to mundane conversations about trivial topics like the weather. This shift highlights the emotional distance that often follows a breakup, where former lovers become strangers again. The song poignantly captures the irony and discomfort of pretending to forget a significant past while engaging in "small talk." 🥀 #PostBreakup #EmotionalDistance
