Words
Seth Horan

Ignoring everything wrong with this love hasn’t changed it
and more often than not’s brought it all crashing down.

And we could look in the books and say,
“Here; this explains it,”
and smile as if it’s that easy to turn things around…

You say you’ll never agree with the things I believe in
and everyone in your life has burdened you with their doubt.
You say beliefs aren’t a good enough reason for leaving, and I say: It seems we only survived ‘cause
we shut the world out.

But what’s the use in complication if she’s already a world away…
And what’s the use in conversation when she doesn’t have a thing to say,
except for, “You didn’t give me a good enough reason for listening.
“You didn’t say what I wanted to hear.”

Well if I could find the words, maybe one day I will.

If we could just speak our minds, everything could be so clear.
If only we didn’t have all this baggage to hide…

I’m finally thinking that maybe there’s something to know here (all alone here)
‘Cause keeping everything buried makes me feel less alive.

(chorus)
