These seven words

I say to you

one by one



I love you

and you have to know



if I could change

how I'm insane

if I could

learn to leave

my troubles behind

it's starting to hurt

and I know you've moved on

tellin everyone

how I done you so wrong



cat scratch a beast

my words that

made you bleed

now I face tomorrow

now I face tomorrow



In time we'll both

be free

from this ball and chain

hangin on to things

I want you mostly

in the morning

when my soul

is weak

from dreaming



when the dust has cleared

and you forget that I'm here

hangin on

I've been hangin

who had the last word

I'm tellin you first

who had the last word

I'm tellin you first



these seven words

are no longer mine

who am I

but a stranger

who took you down

it's starting to burn

and I wanna go home

only home I've known

lost in the storm



it had to be

seven words to set us free

now I face tomorrow

now I face tomorrow

now I face tomorrow
