Someone Took the Words Away

[Verse 1]
Poor head, can hardly move my lips for speaking
I said, "So what is this thing I can't explain?"
I'd blame all the things I feel but can't quite place
Perhaps they're written on my face
Someone took the words away

[Bridge]
Why don't you speak up and say what you mean?
Summon my powers of conversation
I talk to myself, "I'm fine"
When you're around then I decline the invitation

[Verse 2]
It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied
A change has come over me, I'm powerless to express
Every thing I know but cannot speak
And if I try my voice will break
Someone took the words away
Someone took the words away
