Sweet Words for the Sour

[Verse 1]
I don't care what we talk about
I won't listen to someone else
I don't need you to hold my hand
I don't care what we're doing

I don't say this to bring you down
I just need you to stick around
I'm just happy to kick around
I don't care what we're doing

[Chorus]
Sweet words are supposed to sing
Sweet words don't mean a thing
To the sour they sound the same
Sweet words on the sour are wasted

It doesn't matter which words you say
I'm never listening anyway
It only matters you see this through
It only matters you're near me

[Post-Chorus]
Once you've been to certain places
Then you know, it's never enough
And yeah if you're in this situation
Then you trust, nothing on Earth
You watch the words come out of faces
And you hear, nothing of worth

[Bridge]
And if it's true you might as well, just make a stand
And take what little pleasure that you can

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
If we watch while the world burns out
And we don't make a single sound
Then I'll know that you understand
I don't care what we're doing

I don't say this to bring you down
I just need you to stick around
Are you certain you understand
I don't care what we're doing

[Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh)
Sweet words are supposed to sing
Sweet words don't mean a thing (sweet words, sweet words)
Sweet and sour, they sound the same
Sweet words on the sour are wasted (sweet words, sweet words)

It doesn't matter which words you say
I'm never listening anyway (sweet words, sweet words)
It only matters you see this through
It only matters you're near me

[Bridge]
Once you've been to certain places
Then you know, it's never enough
And yeah if you're in this situation
Then you trust, nothing on Earth
You watch the words come out of faces
And you hear, nothing of worth
You watch the words come out of faces
And you hear, nothing of worth

And once you've been to certain places
Then you know, it's never enough
And yeah if you're in this situation
Then you trust, nothing on Earth
You watch the words come out of faces
And you hear, nothing of worth
You watch the words come out of faces
And you hear, nothing of worth

[Outro]
You may as well, just take what little pleasures that you can (x6)
