A Thousand Words

Savage Garden

We stumble in a tangled web 
Decaying friendships almost dead 
And hide behind a mask of lies 
We twist and turn and we avoid 
All hope of salvage now devoid 
I see the truth inside your eyes 
So take all this noise into your brain 
Send it back again
 I’ll bear the cost, shed my skin 
Call you up and then... 
I’ll say the words out loud 

You could resurrect a thousand words 
To deceive me more and more 
A thousand words will give the reason why 
I don’t need you anymore 

Well, time manipulates your heart 
Preconceptions torn apart 
Begin to doubt my state of mind 
But I won’t go down on what I said 
I won’t retract convictions read 
I may perplex, but I’m not blind 
So take all this noise into your brain
 Send it back again I’ll bear the cost, shed my skin
Call you up and then... I’ll say the words out loud 

You could resurrect a thousand words 
To deceive me more and more 
A thousand words will give the reason why 
I don’t need you anymore 

I’ll say the words out loud, 
I’ll say a thousand words or more 
Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation. 
I’ll say a thousand words or more 
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation. 
I’ll say a thousand words or more 

You could resurrect a thousand words 
To deceive me more and more 
A thousand words will give the reason why 
I don’t need you anymore 

You could resurrect a thousand words 
To deceive me more and more 
A thousand words will give the reason why 
I don’t need you anymore
