These words are from my tongue and lips
And I don't have control over this
Can you see that this just won't work?
You're hanging from my fingertips
And I can feel you start to slip
I know this is what you want
Writing it out again
(Writing it out again)
Writing it out again

Face the words that hurt you
'Cause I won't be there
Turn around and pick up your hat
I'm so scared of what to do
Calm because I'll be alone
I never wanted to be afraid

Now I'm listening
Barely breathing
Still wide awake from my dreams
Now you know I was the definite boy
This will be alright

Face the words that hurt you
'Cause I won't be there
Turn around and pick up your hat
I'm so scared of what to do
Calm because I'll be alone
I never wanted to be afraid
Tell me, oh why, once again
(Time again)
Words I don't comprehend
(This time)
I will be alright
I'm telling, oh why
(Time again)
Words I don't comprehend
(This time)
It will be alright
Telling, oh why
(This time again)
Words I don't comprehend
Be all right

Face the words that hurt you
'Cause I won't be there
Turn around and pick up your hat
I'm so scared of what to do
Calm because I'll be alone
I never wanted to be afraid

Oh why, once again
Words I don't comprehend
Be all right
