Someone Took the Words Away

[Verse 1] Poor head, can hardly move my lips for speaking I said, "So what is this thing I can't explain?" I'd blame all the things I feel but can't quite place Perhaps they're written on my face Someone took the words away [Bridge] Why don't you speak up and say what you mean? Summon my powers of conversation I talk to myself, "I'm fine" When you're around then I decline the invitation [Verse 2] It's strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied A change has come over me, I'm powerless to express Every thing I know but cannot speak And if I try my voice will break Someone took the words away Someone took the words away
