The words that I speak
|
Don’t always match
|
The feelings to which
|
They are attached
|
|
So just what kind of man is that
|
Who gives you words
|
Then takes all of them back
|
Sometimes I wonder why
|
I can’t articulate
|
On baited breath
|
We sit quiet and wait
|
But how much of the silent treatment can my lady take?
|
When the words I give are the words that break.
|
|
|
Chorus:
|
I have emotions that I can’t express
|
For lack of a language that’s half as complex
|
As all of my emotions but when I find the words
|
I’ll say the sweetest thing she’s ever heard
|
I’ll say the sweetest thing she’s ever heard
|
|
The things I say don’t say like I really need them too
|
But still I try
|
Sometimes the words are hard to find
|
To quench your thirst and ease your mind
|
|
Chorus
|
|
And I will take the time
|
To make you sure that you’re the one
|
That makes your baby’s love come down
|
|
Chorus
