Lyrics

I gave you too many reasons
Not one that made any sense
Taking the air out of your confidence
I never told you what mattered
You told me who I should be
Until I’d all but forgotten
How it felt to be me

Words fueled the passion
Words ached in our bones
Words made our floating boat
Just sink like a stone
Words could have saved us
If only we had known the Words

Now I’m so sorry ‘bout something
Something I said
I know it’s something you’ll never
Forgive or forget
If we can’t agree then we’ll argue
Never coming to see
What the words we attempt to define, really mean

Words fueled the passion
Words ached in our bones
Words made our floating boat
Just sink like a stone
Words could have saved us
If only we had known the Words

Words like thanks and I’m sorry
Can be subtle but strong
We just might hit gold with
“You were right; I was wrong”

Words so outrageous
Words so profound
Words fill the pages
Speak without sound
I couldn’t manage
To keep her around with Words
