A Word

I've been thinking about you today I've been working on what you want me to say Put the words in an order that works And leave out the sharp ones that might make you hurt You know I've never been good with words Things I mean to say stumble out, stuttered and slurred Now I'm standing here wrecking my brain Cause you're gonna make me lose my thread again Ooh I prefer silence to being unheard Ooh I can be kind without saying a word Maybe I just don't have what it takes Maybe you could just put up with all my mistakes Not exactly a sweet serenade But I need you near me and words only get in the way I need you near me and words only get in the way Ooh I prefer silence to being unheard Ooh I can be kind without saying a word
