A thousand words that no one's spoken
Now there's nothing left to say
Another dream just got broken
You suggest you're not that way, yeah
I want you to love me
Want you to know I'm just like you
Just like you
Another dream just got broken
Another dreamer just like you
You
A thousand words just like you
A thousand words just like you
A thousand words just like you
