The words that I speak

Don't always match

The feelings to which

They are attached



So just what kind of man is that

Who gives you words

Then takes all of them back

Sometimes I wonder why

I can't articulate

On baited breath

We sit quiet and wait

But how much of the silent treatment can my lady take?

When the words I give are the words that break.





Chorus:

I have emotions that I can't express

For lack of a language that's half as complex

As all of my emotions but when I find the words

I'll say the sweetest thing she's ever heard

I'll say the sweetest thing she's ever heard



The things I say don't say like I really need them too

But still I try

Sometimes the words are hard to find

To quench your thirst and ease your mind



Chorus



And I will take the time 

To make you sure that you're the one

That makes your baby's love come down



Chorus
