Word Forward Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Goodbye, Jimmy, farewell youth
I must be on my way, I've had enough of you
Was a young man, proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
Years that I've wasted
These IOU's
[Verse 2]
They're just fuckin' words, this is life or death
It's time to clear the air, you better save your breath
Say have you heard, say have you heard
The poison in my heart and voices in my head?
[Pre-Chorus]
Years that I've wasted
These IOU's
[Chorus]
I meant every word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Goodbye, Jimmy, farewell youth
I must be on my way, I've had enough of you
Was a young man, proud and true
Just a simple boy with nothing left to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
Years that I've wasted
These IOU's
[Verse 2]
They're just fuckin' words, this is life or death
It's time to clear the air, you better save your breath
Say have you heard, say have you heard
The poison in my heart and voices in my head?
[Pre-Chorus]
Years that I've wasted
These IOU's
[Chorus]
I meant every word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
[Bridge]
But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fuckin' words!
[Chorus]
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word (for word) for word (for word) for word (for word) forward
Word (for word) for word (for word) for word (for word) forward
But it's only words
I meant every word
They're just fuckin' words!
[Chorus]
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word, for word, for word, forward
Word (for word) for word (for word) for word (for word) forward
Word (for word) for word (for word) for word (for word) forward
