Story Behind The Song

The title summarises a new approach to psychotherapy I've come across - acceptance and commitment therapy. It's all about how our words and reasons don't necessarily have anything to do with our behaviour - and its our behaviour that gets us what we want.

Song Description

Song written for female pop singers - ala Destiny's Child / Lady Marmalade. Expresses a "I'm not gonna take no shit" attitude to relationships - and says what girls want - SHOW me love, don't just tell me about it.

Lyrics

LOUDER THAN WORDS

I'm tired of waiting for you
And every thought you never shared
Ain't enough to keep me interested
I can't read your mind and
Every move you never dared
Leaves me nothing more than disrespected
No more useless excuses
Chance is there if you choose it
If you wait you could lose it

CHORUS
I won't invest in you if that's the best that you can do
U Can't decide and it hurts
I won't subject myself to listen to your tired tales
Haven't you heard? That actions speak louder than words


I'm tired of promises
And every line you tried to find
Don't add up to what you could have showed me
Now you're running out of time
And every day that you delay
Just convinces me that you don't know me
No more wrenching attention
You can see intention
It's worth more than a mention

CHORUS

It ain't enough for me to care for dreams I've never seen
It ain't enough to know where we ain't never been
My faith ain't strong enough for me to think
You understand my speech
If you're too slow, my love is out of reach

CHORUS
