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 tongue
Words rush by so quickly
And it`s too late to take them back
I tried to say I`m sorry
And that goodbye was just an act
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 sound
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 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
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
