Words You Mean

[Verse 1]
Don’t tell me the fables of battles you’ve won
Or the cities you rescued, when you never saved one
Don’t tell me you’re loyal, don’t tell me you’re brave
When you fled to the mountains and dug me a grave

[Chorus]
If there is love and mercy for sinners
Is there a place for sinners like me
But there’s only room for
Sinners you choose, so
Please use the words
The words you mean

[Verse 2]
Don’t tell me you love and just hate my sin
Then offer a kingdom that won’t let me in
You say there’s a good God, he’s good when you say
You called me his child then you sent me away

[Chorus]
If there is love and mercy for sinners
Is there a place for sinners like me
But there’s only room for
Sinners you choose, so
Please use the words
The words you mean

[Bridge]
You threw your stones and traded
Mercy for empty phrases
Statues of golden pages
But I won’t bow down
You threw me in the fire
Telling them I’m the liar
I kept on burning brighter 'till you faded out

[Verse 3]
You told me "be honest" and there would be grace
So I told you my secrets, you spat in my face
I gave up my life and I never gave up
But all that I gave you was never enough

[Chorus]
If there is love and mercy for sinners
Is there a place for sinners like me
But there’s only room for
Sinners you choose, so
Please use the words
The words you mean
If there is love and mercy for sinners
Is there a place for sinners like me
But there’s only room for
Sinners you choose, so
Please use the words
The words you mean
Please use the words
The words you mean
