Words

Words, they don't mean nothing
So tell me why they hurt so much
I meant to tell you something
It was on the tip of my tongueWords rush by so quickly
And it's too late to take them back
I tried to say I'm sorry
And that goodbye was just an actBut all my words got in the way
And all the things I meant to say
Were not the things you heard
Why'd you have to go and take me at my word?Words come back to haunt you
Yeah, they just keep hanging around
I still can hear the echo
I still can hear their angry sound'Cause all my words got in the way
And all the things I meant to say
Were not the things you heard
Why'd you have to go and take me at my word?Words can say I love you
Oh, words can break a heart
I should have stopped you leaving
And told the truth right from the startBut all my words got in the way
And all the things I meant to say
Were not the things you heard
Why'd you have to go and take me at my word?Why'd you have to go and take me at my word?
Why'd you have to go and take me at my word?
