Sabrina Carpenter’s single “Sharpest Tool” from her album Short n’ Sweet (Bonus Track LP) (2024) explores the complexities of a difficult relationship.
The lyrics tell a narrative in which communication breakdowns and emotional separation play significant roles.
Carpenter’s song depicts a relationship in which the partner is referred to as “not the sharpest tool in the shed,” signifying a lack of knowledge or depth in their actions.
The lyrics reflect frustration with the spouse’s forgetfulness and lack of genuine connection, as seen by instances in which the partner pretends to forget crucial occurrences or fails to acknowledge earlier actions.

Sabrina Carpenter – Sharpest Tool Lyrics
Verse
I know you’re not
The sharpest tool in the shed
We had sex, I met your best friends
Then a bird flies by and you forget
I don’t hear a word
‘Til your guilt creeps in
On a Tuesday, send a soft “hey”
As if you really don’t recall the time
Pre-Chorus
We were goin’ right, then you took a left
Left me with a lot of shit to second-guess
Guess I’ll waste another year on wonderin’ if
If that was casual, then I’m an idiot
I’m lookin’ for an answer in-between the lines
Lyin’ to yourself if you think we’rе fine
You’re confused and I’m upsеt, but

Chorus
We never talk about it
We never talk about it
We never talk about it
Bridge
All the silence just makes it worse, really
‘Cause it leaves you so top-of-mind for me
All the silence is just your strategy
‘Cause it leaves you so top-of-mind for me
Refrain
We never talk about how you
Found God at your ex’s house, always
Made sure that the phone was face-down
Seems like overnight, I’m just the bitch you hate now
We never talk it through
How you guilt-tripped me to open up to you
Then you logged out, leavin’ me dumbfounded, oh-oh
Pre-Chorus
We were goin’ right, then you took a left
Left me with a lot of shit to second-guess
Guess I’ll waste another year on wonderin’ if
If that was casual, then I’m an idiot
I’m lookin’ for an answer in-between the lines
Lyin’ to yourself if you think we’re fine
You’re confused and I’m upset, but
Chorus
We never talk about it (We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it)
We never talk about it (We don’t talk about it, talk, talk, talk about it)
We never talk about it (We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it)
(We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it)
Refrain
We never talk about how you
Found God at your ex’s house, always
Made sure that the phone was face-down
Seems like overnight, I’m just the bitch you hate now
We never talk it through
How you guilt-tripped me to open up to you
Then you logged out, leavin’ me dumbfounded, oh-oh
Outro
We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it (We never talk about it)
We don’t talk about it, talk, talk, talk about it (We never talk about it)
We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it (We never talk about it)
We don’t talk about it, we don’t talk about it
