Words

Words, stupid words
Don't know why I even listen to your words
All the words that you used to lie to me

Words, all those words
You could fill a dictionary just with words
Like the words that you used to lie to me

And they go in an ear
And out an ear
And in an ear
And out they go again too fast

Words, pick a word
It would mean as much as any other word
That I heard when you used to lie to me

Words, how absurd
How could I believe the things that I inferred
From your words when you used to lie to me

And I go down and up
And down and up
And down and up
And down I go again too fast

Don't even say it
I don't wanna know
Don't wanna hear if you're gonna go
Just keep your mouth shut
You've had your say
Don't wanna hear if you're gonna stay
You're gonna stay
You're gonna stay
Well stay away

Words, stupid words
Don't know why I even listen to your words
All the words that you used to lie to me

Words, all those words
You could write a million stories just with words
Like the words that you used to lie to me
