The Word Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, such an ordinary start
For a day that ends with its intent to break your heart
And I, I thought that I was strong
Was it necessary for me to learn that I was wrong?
[Chorus]
The word is out
I've been defeated, I've been laid down low
The word is out
It's time for me to let go
[Verse 2]
I know, I was walkin' in my sleep (I know)
Through fields of poison
Secrets bloomin' at my feet
And I, I opened up my eyes (And I)
And found myself caught between
The cold hard truth and soft warm lies (Cold hard truth, soft warm lies)
[Chorus]
The word is out (The word is out)
I've been defeated, I've been laid down low
The word is out (The word is out)
It's time for me to let go
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, Sally don't you go 'round, 'round, 'round those roses
You don't have go 'round, 'round and around
There's nothing in those roses, in those roses that'll get ya (There's nothing in those roses)
There's nothing in those roses that'll get you now
[Chorus]
The word is out (The word is out)
I've been defeated, I've been laid down low (Laid down low)
The word is out (The word is out)
It's time for me to let go
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, Sally don't you go 'round, 'round, 'round those roses
You don't have go 'round, 'round and around
There's nothing in those roses, in those roses that'll get ya (There's nothing in those roses)
There's nothing in those roses that'll get you now
[Outro]
Yes, Sally don't you go 'round, 'round, 'round those roses
You don't have go 'round, 'round and around
There's nothing in those roses, in those roses that'll get ya (There's nothing in those roses)
There's nothing in those roses that'll get you now

This is a song of betrayal that came when I was writing on piano. The song doesn’t even have to be about a romantic relationship, but any one relationship where there’s a sense of failure.
