blabber
Go on endlessly
Blabber means to talk excessively or indiscreetly, revealing things that should be kept quiet: She blabbered the secret to everyone.
As a noun, a blabber is someone who talks too much or can't keep confidences.
The word suggests mindless chatter rather than deliberate betrayal—more loose lips than malice.
