Words, they cut like a knifeCut into my lifeI don't want to hear your wordsThey always attackPlease take them all backIf they're yours I don't want anymore
You think you're so smartYou try to manipulate meYou try to humiliate with your wordsYou think you're so chicYou write me beautiful lettersYou think you're so much better than me
[Bridge:] But your actions speak louder than wordsAnd they're only words, unless they're trueYour actions speak louder than promisesYou're inclined to make and inclined to break
[chorus] You think you're so shrewdYou try to bring me lowYou try to gain control with your words
[bridge][chorus] Friends they tried to warn me about youHe has good manners, he's so romanticBut he'll only make you blueHow can I explain to themHow could they knowI'm in love with your wordsYour words You think you're so slyI caught you at your gameYou will not bring me shame with your words
[bridge][chorus] Too much blinding lightYour touch, I've grown tired of your wordsWords, wordsA linguistic form that can meaningfully be spoken in isolationConversation, expression, a promise, a sighIn short, a lieA message from heaven, a signal from hellI give you my word I'll never tellLanguage that is used in angerPersonal feelings signaling dangerA brief remark, an utterance, informationDon't mince words, don't be evasiveSpeak your mind, be persuasiveA pledge, a commitment, communication, words
