Words

[Chorus]

Words

They cut like a knife

Cut into my life

I don't want to hear your words

They always attack

Please take them all back

If they're yours I don't want anymore

[Verse 1]

You think you're so smart

You try to manipulate me

You try to humiliate with your words

You think you're so chic

You write me beautiful letters

You think you're so much better than me

[Pre-Chorus]

But your actions speak louder than words

And they're only words, unless they're true

Your actions speak louder than promises

You're inclined to make and inclined to break

[Chorus]

Words

They cut like a knife

Cut into my life

I don't want to hear your words

They always attack

Please take them all back

If they're yours I don't want anymore

[Verse 2]

You think you're so shrewd

You try to bring me low

You try to gain control with your words

[Pre-Chorus]

But your actions speak louder than words

And they're only words, unless they're true

Your actions speak louder than promises

You're inclined to make and inclined to break

[Chorus]

Words

They cut like a knife

Cut into my life

I don't want to hear your words

They always attack

Please take them all back

If they're yours I don't want anymore

[Bridge]

Friends they tried to warn me about you

He has good manners, he's so romantic

But he'll only make you blue

How can I explain to them

How could they know

I'm in love with your words

Your words

[Verse 3]

You think you're so sly

I caught you at your game

You will not bring me shame with your words

[Pre-Chorus]

But your actions speak louder than words

And they're only words, unless they're true

Your actions speak louder than promises

You're inclined to make and inclined to break

[Chorus]

Words

They cut like a knife

Cut into my life

I don't want to hear your words

They always attack

Please take them all back

If they're yours I don't want anymore

[Outro]

Too much

Blinding light

Your touch

I've grown tired of your words

Words, words

A linguistic form that can meaningfully be spoken in isolation

Conversation, expression

A promise, a sigh

In short, a lie

A message from heaven

A signal from hell

I give you my word

I'll never tell

Language that is used in anger

Personal feelings signaling danger

A brief remark, an utterance, information

Don't mince words, don't be evasive

Speak your mind, be persuasive

A pledge, a commitment, communication
