Lyrics
The Words We Say
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We'll wait in line for most our lives
Get out, get in, get on with it.
We always hurt the ones we never really loved.
We always think we're alone.
We're always wrong.
We're always wrong.
The words we say,
Take different shapes.
We'll live and die
With all the things we recognize.
We'll count our sins, stop now, begin.
We know the words
Are better left unspoken
When they'll be right in
To tear the heads off of us.
Oh, tear the heads off of us.
Oh...
The words we say,
Take different shapes.
And you can only do so much
To try to get your point across.
I'll live and I'll die with all the things I recognize
I'll count my sins, stop now, begin.
