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 talking, I could go insane You just kept speakin' those words and it started to hurt my brain
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
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
Everywhere I go words are coming at me From on the radio and on the T.V. People stop to say "Hello" but that isn't what I need What I want from these words is to be free
One word after the other, no space for me to say "I have to go and get some space, I've got to get away" Sitting there impatiently trying not to cry 'Cause honestly I was getting
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
What's the point of narrating life 'Cause you know that words will only hurt you inside You make your promises and then you break them Who says forgiveness can be written down with a pen I hold your hand and try to let it go But you keep on bringing back feelings and they show Your light keeps dimming everything around And the words I'm feeling, they can't be found To explain how I feel right now
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
