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
