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
