Words, they don't mean nothingnSo tell me why they hurt so muchnI meant to tell you somethingnIt was on the tip of my tonguennWords rush by so quicklynAnd it's too late to take them backnI tried to say I'm sorrynAnd that goodbye was just an actnnBut all my words got in the waynAnd all the things I meant to saynWere not the things you heardnOh, why'd you have to gonAnd take me at my wordnnWords come back to haunt younYeah, they just keep hanging aroundnI still can hear the echonI still can hear their angry soundnnBut all my words got in the waynAnd all the things I meant to saynWere not the things you heardnOh, why'd you have to gonAnd take me at my wordnnWords can say I love younOh, words can break a heartnI should have stopped you leavingnAnd told the truth right from the startnnBut all my words got in the waynAnd all the things I meant to saynWere not the things you heardnOh, why'd you have to gonAnd take me at my word
