Words Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waiting on you
Trying to keep your head strong
With nothing to lose
You raise your voice with something to prove
And all the things you say to me
I can't forget them

You don't leave
But you tell me with your eyes what you need
Oh, please
Do you think that I don't know what it means?


[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the things you hide from me
I accept them
But I need you next to me


[Chorus]
If I can't hold you now
Keep thinking that you might not come around
I have no words
I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
You say it first
You say it first to me
[Chorus]
And If I can't hold you now
Keep thinking how you might not come around
And I have no words
I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye?
You say it first, you say it first to me
If I can't hold you now (If I can't hold you now)
Keep thinking that you might not come around (Might not come around)
I have no words
I have no words to say
If I can't change your mind (If I can't change your mind)
Keep thinking, is this our last goodbye? (Our last goodbye)
You say it first
You say it first to me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The third single off of Beautiful Lies, Words captures a fractured relationship where love seems to be present but is constantly on and off without an end in sight. However, without the words and with only a reliance on a lover, the relationship is stagnant.
