Mayday Parade - Worth A Thousand Words lyrics

rate me

I’m not your perfect picture

I’m not your favourite song

And I’m not your hand to hold

Not the answer to your problems

So don’t talk to me like I'm, some hero racing gold.

And I can't love you

No, I can’t love you enough

The thought's been eating away once again.

No, I can't love you

No, I can’t love you enough

So promise me you’ll try

You’re a cut away from something that I can change

We're about to break

And even if you lie

The world will just forgive you

But don’t forget that our love is dead

We’re meant to be the strong ones

(We’re meant to be the strong ones)

Yeah the things we think about

Are the things we can’t control

But I can't help but struggle

(But I can't help but struggle)

When the person that I am

Is the person I don’t know

And I'm walking in the brightest city

(And I can't love you)

And I'll fall apart to all the pretty songs

(No, I can’t love you enough)

The thought's been eating away once again.

It's hard to talk when there's no meaning

(No, I can't love you)

I'm help awake and thoughtful dreaming

(No, I can’t love you enough)

And every time you call my name,

I swear to you to I'll call.

So promise me you’ll try

You’re a cut away from something that I can change

We're about to break

And even if you lie

The world will just forgive you

But don’t forget, that our love is dead

I could be your heart, reaching for the stars

Run away with me

We know what we are

So promise me you’ll try to grab a hold of something

To keep you safe

And I promise that I'll sing you to sleep

(I promise that I'll sing you to sleep)

Believe me, we may have been mistaken for this tragedy

It’s obvious you're faking

But you’re not convincing me

You’re singing alone

So promise me you’ll try

You’re a cut away from something that I can change

We're about to break

And even if you lie

The world will just forgive you

But don’t forget, that our love is dead

I could be your heart, reaching for the stars

Run away with me

We know what we are

So promise me you’ll try to grab a hold of something

To keep you safe

And I promise that I'll sing you to sleep

And even if you lie,

The world will just forgive you again.
