Throw The Words Away

THROW THE WORDS AWAY

I say
I wish you would spend just a little more time
You say
I've been working all day babe, I'm a little bit tired
I say
I'm just trying to find out how was your day
You say
Can you give me a minute, can't it wait
I say
I just get the feeling something isn't right
You say
Please not tonight

Why can't we just throw the words away
And listen to what our hearts have to say
Why wouldn't it just be okay
To sit quiet and listen
To our two hearts beating
Cause words have no meaning

I say
You never seem to hear me and I don't know why
You say
But you've said the same things a million times
I say
If you'd only think about it from my point of view
You say
But all I ever do is think about you
I say
It's falling apart...are you just gonna let it?
You say
Oh just forget it

Chorus

No lies, no reasons
Excuses, no explanations
No blame, no sorries
No alibis
No whys, denials
No defenses, no complications
Words have no meaning
So why even try

Chorus

When did we forget what it used to mean
How'd we forget how it used to be
What ever happened to you and me
