Every Word I Say Letra

one half of their meaning is gone

words are in the way
you can't see what I'm feeling at all

words encompass every color, every shadow, every light
but they're passing through my mouth now
and we only see the one side
see the one side

words are in the way
you can't see what I'm feeling
words are in the way
you don't know what I'm thinking at all
at all

tell us, would you
in three words, who you are
give us your opinion of the world at large
can you explain the names you've given
to the things you've done?
give us, please, your definition of true love
true love

forming syllables, making phrases
making paragraphs and pages
I should have seen the words that got away from me
you should have, but you could not
you should have, but you couldn't

words are in the way
so many things I wanted you to know today
words are in the way
pretending with every word I say
every word I
every word I
every word I say

oh, how could you know what I'm thinking?
