Lyrics

A Thousand Words

They say to stay away
that I am cruel to those who give their love
and you believe

They tell me I will pay
that I am bad for having turned away
and I believe

Pre-Chorus

And between you and I
we create this fertile ground
to breed these lies . . . but

Chorus

A thousand words inside your head
won't get you to the truth
if you want to see me
ears and eyes you'll have to lose
. . . . use your heart
you can see clear through your heart

verse 2

When she first fell in love
seemed like she could never give enough
it was so pure
but behind every bed
there's this underside
that rears its head
when need's unmet

But in that hate there's shame
and so she gave her friends the license to lay blame
inside my name

Chorus ? instrumental ? double chorus
