Curt Smith - Words lyrics

rate me

To t.v. screens and complex books

My inner world of reason looks

To try to feel or touch the things you see

With a face and voice so serious

Words so detached in spite of us

You overjustify how you feel

And every line makes perfect sense

You've long rehearsed this circumstance

Words don't say enough

Silence is your best defense

Words don't say enough

So many years the time has flown

The ups and downs the world we've grown

accustomed to

Has given us our share

But I never thought we'd come to this

When face to face we can't exist

There's no use trying to find what's not there

You think you've had the final say

But that was over yesterday

Words don't say enough

Words come cheap so don't explain

Words don't say enough

Speak the language of love

Tell it straight from your heart

Take a chance and open up

Let the message ring clear

You've got nothing to fear

Tell it like it is

Open up your heart and mind

Thoughts and feelings realign

You've got yours and I've got mine

Enough's enough, enough's enough

Enough's enough

So take a chance and open up

Speak the language of love

Tell it straight from your heart

Take a chance and open up

Let the message ring clear

You've got nothing to fear

Tell it like it is

Open up your heart and mind

Thoughts and feelings realign

You've got yours and I've got mine

Word's don't say enough

What is wrong with your life

Take a look down deep inside

Love is going back in time

Words don't say enough

To t.v. screens and complex books

My inner world of reason looks

With a face and voice so serious

You overjustify how you feel
