  • How do we end up like this, under a burning sky?
    Some things are better unsaid, it's easier to lie
    I'm pulling but my heart is on the wire
    Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in
    Doesn't take a fool to start a fire
    A solitary spark and wars begin

    Say it's only words
    And that it will get easier with time
    Nothing's only words
    That's how hearts gets hurt

    I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
    All the words we said
    I can't stop hearing
    All the words you said
    I can't stop hearing
    All the words you said
    I can't stop hearing words
    That's how hearts get hurt

    How did it all come to this?
    We started off as friends
    It makes it easy to leave
    If we're strangers by the end
    I'm pulling but my heart is on the wire
    Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in
    Doesn't take a fool to start a fire
    Solitary spark and wars begin

    Say it's only words
    And that it will get easier with time
    Nothing's only words
    That's how hearts gets hurt

    I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
    All the words we said
    I can't stop hearing
    All the words we said
    I can't stop hearing
    All the words we said
    I can't stop hearing words
    That's how hearts get hurt

    You say it's only words
    And that it will get easier with time
    Nothing's only words
    That's how hearts get hurt
    You say it's only words
    It doesn't matter if they're yours or mine
    Nothing's only words
    That's how hearts get hurt

    I can't, I can't, I can't stop hearing
    All the words we said
    I can't stop hearing
    All the words we said
    I can't stop hearing
    All the words we said
    Let's stop using words
    That's how hearts get hurt Writer/s: DAVID SNEDDON, JAMES BAUER-MEIN, MICHAEL HOLBROOK PENNIMAN
