Words

[Verse 1]
You say, "Come over, let's have a little chat"
And I say, "Okay, I guess I'm fine with that"
But as we get to talkin', I could go insane
You just kept speakin' those words and it started to hurt my brain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
One word after the other, no space for me to say
"Sorry but I've got to go we'll talk another day"
Sitting there, still tryin' to smile, but it seems impossible
'Cause honestly I was getting

[Chorus]
Tired of words, words, words, don't want 'em anymore
Words, words, words, how could I deal with them before?
It's like they've taken over and there's nowhere I can hide
What good do they bring? Never fixed anything
So, as you can see, that's why I'm not speaking
Words

[Verse 2]
Everywhere I go words are coming at me
From on the radio and on the TV
People stop to say, "Hello," but that isn't what I need
What I want from these words is to be free

[Pre-Chorus 2]
One word after the other, no space for me to say
"I have to leave and get some space, I've got to get away"
Sitting there impatiently, trying not to cry
'Cause honestly I was getting

[Chorus]
Tired of words, words, words, don't want 'em anymore
Words, words, words, how could I deal with them before?
It's like they've taken over and there's nowhere I can hide
What good do they bring? Never fixed anything
So, as you can see, that's why I'm not speaking
Words

[Bridge]
What's the point of narrating life?
'Cause you know that words will only hurt you inside
(They will hurt you inside)
You make your promises and then you break them
(Why should you break them?)
Who says forgiveness can be writt'n down with a pen?
I hold your hand and try to let it go (I try to let it go)
But you keep on bringing back feelings and they show
Your light keeps dimmin' everything around
And the words I'm feelin', they can't be found
To explain how I feel right now

[Chorus]
Words, words, words, don't want 'em anymore
Words, words, words, how could I deal with them before?
It's like they've taken over and there's nowhere I can hide
What good do they bring? Never fixed anything
So, as you can see, that's why I'm not speaking
Words, woah, yeah
