[Verse 1]
He said "John, I do believe I've seen Virginia to the end
I find myself about as far as I can go
Culminated late last night
From pointed fingers starting fires that burned since years ago
We've fallen out of love"
[Chorus 1]
I said "Friend, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear (yeah)
Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear
You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along
And then you love someone, but not till then
You love someone"
[Verse 2]
Haunted by computer screens
The world around him
Grass was greener on the other end
She could see it in his eyes
The love had left, or it had died
And she was left that way
With nothing left for her to say
[Chorus 2]
So she said "Love, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear (yeah)
Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear
You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along
And then you love someone, but not till then
You love till then you love"
[Bridge]
It took love to finally see the pointed fingers back at me
A silent mouth, a broken heart, a sword retired
A silent mouth, a broken heart, a sword retired
So a sword retired
It's a sword retired
Yes, a sword retired
It's a sword retired
It's a sword (oh)
It's a sword retired (oh)
It's a sword (oh)
It's a sword retired (oh)
[Chorus 3]
I said "Love, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear (yeah)
Just shut your mouth and then the truth comes stinging clear
You find you're wrong and it's your problems all along
And then you love someone, but not till then
You love someone"
