Wasted Words

[Verse 1]
If I came knocking at your door
Would you let me in?
Would you hear me out?
Should we go over this once more?
I understand enough's been said
But I still need to get this out

[Chorus]
Woah, wasted words that were never meant to mean that much
I never thought they'd lead us to this place
Guess I never knew that these feelings were inside of you
Your secret shadow follows and reveals what you don't show
And I'll be there to follow where you go

[Verse 2]
I can't defend the way I feel
I just pretend that it's for real
As it lies heavy on my mind
And when the tables have been turned
It always feels like I've just learned
They're feelings better left behind

[Chorus]
Woah, wasted words that were never meant to mean that much
I never thought they'd lead us to this place
Guess I never knew that these feelings were inside of you
Your secret shadow follows and reveals what you don't show
And I'll be there to follow where you go

[Bridge]
I can't build a perfect world
Though I sometimes try to act the simple girl
And if you'd only hold my hand
It would take me back to where it all began, woah

[Chorus]
Woah, wasted words that were never meant to mean that much
I never thought they'd lead us to this place
Guess I never knew that these feelings were inside of you
Your secret shadow follows and reveals what you don't show
And I'll be there to follow where you go
