WORDS
I still hear you soft and clear
Your lips close to my ear
Whispering how much you loved me
You never told me a lie
Meant it all once upon a time
Tryin’ to write that storybook ending
We were happy then
Chorus:
Told each other we were forever
The stay up all night dreams that we made
But promises always sound better
When the heart can stand behind what you say
You love, you lose, you learn
They’re only words
Can’t shake away that goodbye
Echoin’ around in my mind
Over and over and over
Part of me wants to believe
We said things we didn’t mean
Just sticks and stones we were throwing
In the heat of the moment
Bridge:
They’ll only bruise us if we let ‘em
Only words
And I could easily forget ‘em
If you want me to
Do you want me to
And we could go back to forever
To the stay up all night dreams that we made
Promises always sound better
When the heart can stand behind what you say
We could take ‘em back,
And heal what we hurt
Cuz they’re only words
