Sherrie Austin - Words lyrics

rate me

Words, they don't mean nothing

So tell me why they hurt so much

I meant to tell you something

It was on the tip of my tongue

Words rush by so quickly

And it's too late to take them back

I tried to say I'm sorry

And that goodbye was just an act

But all my words got in the way

And all the things I meant to say

Were not the things you heard

Oh, why'd you have to go

And take me at my word

Words come back to haunt you

Yeah, they just keep hanging around

I still can hear the echo

I still can hear their angry sound

But all my words got in the way

And all the things I meant to say

Were not the things you heard

Oh, why'd you have to go

And take me at my word

Words can say I love you

Oh, words can break a heart

I should have stopped you leaving

And told the truth right from the start

But all my words got in the way

And all the things I meant to say

Were not the things you heard

Oh, why'd you have to go

And take me at my word
