Words

Well, the first time that I saw her

Standing in the middle of the road

Eyes as bright as Christmas lights

Wearing someone else's clothes

I did my best to ignore her

Ignoring my best pretty soon

Spend the night all tangled tight

In an armchair in my friend's front room

I said darling you know, darling you know I can't stay

'Cause I've given my heart and my word to a girl far away

I felt weak as she kissed my cheek, and sighed when I heard her say

Never knew I could get my heart broken in less than a day

Oh and the next time that I saw her

Must have been a year or more

Face stained with mascara

Shivering outside my door

I did my best to assure her

But assurance isn't easy to give

If you've never been sure of anything much

You get less so the longer you live

She said darling you know, darling you know I can't stay

'Cause I've given my heart and my word to a boy far away

I spoke soft and pretended to cough, like I didn't care either way

Never knew I could get my heart broken in so many ways

Well the last time that I saw her

Standing in the pouring rain

Hair a little shorter

But everything else looked the same

I could of told her that I adored her

She could of said she felt the same way

But we just smiled 'cause sometimes words

Aren't the right words to say

We just smiled 'cause sometimes words

Aren't the right words to say
