Savage Garden

Thousand Words

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
solo: Gm/Bb/F/C
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
(Chorus)
