Words,

they don't mean nothing

So tell me why

they hurt so much

I meant to tell you

something

It was on the tip

of my tounge



Words rush by so quickly

And its too late

to take them back

I tried to say I'm sorry

And that goodbye

was just an act



Chorus

But all my words

got in the way

And all the things

I meant to say

Were not the things

you heard

Oh, why'd you have to go

And take me

at my word



Words

come back to haunt you

Yeah, they just keep

hanging around

I still can hear the echo

I still can hear

their angry stound



Chorus



Words can say I love you

Oh, words can break a heart

I should have

stopped you leaving

And told the truth

right from the start.
