Lyrics
Words are such precious things
But you’ve stripped them of all of their passion
You expect a reaction
What can I give when there’s no more pretending
Could we laugh?
Could we live like other people without running out of words,
Out of words?
Words are such simple things
They will tell the truth if you let them
Maybe we’d have a real conversation
And so I wait for your soul to start bleeding
Could we laugh?
Could we live like other people without running out of words,
Out of words?
The silence offends me
But when we speak it gets worse
There’s so much to say behind each other’s backs
And nothing left for us
Words don’t mean a thing
Unless you treat me like you say that you want to
You tell me your religion helps you love people
What should I think when the words you say are hurtful
And I hear your disdain as you babble on and on
How you love me and you want me near
Could we laugh?
Could we live like other people without running out of words,
Out of words?
