One Word Answers

[Verse 1]
It takes a better man than I to realise
That there will come a day when you must let things lie
I can be overwrought as anyone but then
We're all just battles raging underneath some skin

[PreChorus]
I only listen to the words I want to hear
I only listen to the words I want to hear

[Chorus]
And I only give you one word answers
And I only give you one word answers
And I only give you one word answers
Ohhhhh

[Verse 2]
All wayward aim and raised fists
That never land their punches
Do I look like a well to fill with woe and wish
'Cause I've got plenty here to drown in

[PreChorus]
I only listen to the words I want to hear
I only listen to the words I want to hear

[Chorus]
And I only give you one word answers
And I only give you one word answers
And I only give you one word answers
Ohhhhh

[Bridge]
And of all I've held in ever low esteem
You should have guessed
That down the list was me
And of all I've held in ever low esteem
You should have guessed
That down the list was me
