Words

[Verse 1]

Words like, "Hey, nice to meet you"

Got us walking down the street to grab a drink

And words like, "Tell me 'bout your family"

Got us falling, got us landing in a tree

Oh, and words took us all the way from kissin'

In a parkin' lot to missin' everything we used to be

[Chorus]

Say the words and I'll be gone

Turn our perfect lines into another sad song

I won't keep you here, keep holding on

To what we were

Just say the words

[Verse 2]

Words, well, they sure are confusin'

Like when we started using them, just bullets in a fight

Oh, and words like, "Did you ever love me?"

Well, they pushed you and they shoved me to the edge of goodbye

[Chorus]

Just say the words and I'll be gone

Turn our perfect lines to another sad song

I won't keep you here, keep holding on

To what we were

Just say the words

[Bridge]

Like bitter poison drippin' off your tongue

Pull the thread and watch the story come undone

[Chorus]

Just say the words and I'll be gone

Turn our perfect lines to another sad song

I won't keep you here, keep holding on

To what we were

Just say the words

[Outro]

Maybe words like, "I'm sorry and I need you"

Would have been enough to keep you

From walking out

Is it too late to say 'em now?
