lyrics

WHAT ARE WORDS
BUT LITTLE THINGS WE SAY
DAY BY DAY
LIKE TROUBLE TAMED BY TIME
LETTERS LINED
WITH FALSE THOUGHTS
THAT SLOWLY FADE AND DRY
IDEAS DIE
BUT WORDS THEY WILL REMAIN
WHAT ARE WORDS
BUT LITTLE THINGS WE SAY
DAY BY DAY
THINGS GET WORSE
WHITE LIES TAKE A DARKER SHADE
BLACK AS SPADES
THEY WITHER UP AND FADE

THE THINGS WE SAY AT NIGHT
WILL WASH AWAY IN DAY
WHAT IT MEANS TO REMIND YOU THAT THINGS WON’T WORK OUT
THEY’LL JUST STAY THE SAME

NOW THESE WORDS
ARE NOTHING BUT A SHOW
AND WE KNOW
THINGS GET WORSE
THE GAME WILL WAX AND WANE
WHAT A SHAMES
THESE WORDS ARE NOT TO BLAME

THE THINGS WE SAY AT NIGHT
WILL WASH AWAY IN DAY
WHAT IT MEANS TO REMIND YOU THAT THINGS WORK OUT
THEY’LL JUST STAY THE SAME

THE SAME
THE SAME
THE SAME OLD SAME OLD SAME
