Savage Garden - A Thousand Words lyrics

We stumble in a tangled web, decaying friendships almost dead And hide behind a mask of lies We twist and turn and we avoid, all hope of salvage now devoid I see the truth inside your eyes So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then... I'll say the words out loud [chorus:] You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore Time manipulates your heart, preconceptions torn apart Begin to doubt my state of mind But I won't go down on what I said I won't retract convictions read I may perplex, but I'm not blind So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then... I'll say the words out loud [chorus ] I'll say the words out loud. I'll say a thousand words or more Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation I'll say a thousand words or more Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation I'll say a thousand words or more [repeat chorus]
