Words Lyrics by Passenger

Whispers II

2015

[Verse 1]
Well the first time that I saw her
Standing in the middle of the road
Eyes as bright as Christmas lights
Wearing someone else’s clothes
I did my best to ignore her
But ignoring my best pretty soon
We spent the night all tangled tight
In an armchair in my friend's front room

[Chorus 1]
I said, "Darling you know, darling you know I can’t stay
'Cause I've given my heart and my word to a girl far away"
I felt weak as she kissed my cheek, and sighed when I heard her say
"Never knew I could get my heart broken in less than a day"

[Verse 2]
Oh, and the next time that I saw her
Must have been a year or more
Face stained with mascara
Shiverin' outside my door
I did my best to assure her
But assurance isn't easy to give
If you've never been sure of anything much
You get less so the longer you live

[Chorus 2]
She said, "Darling you know, darling you know I can’t stay
'Cause I've given my heart and my word to a boy far away"
I spoke soft and pretended to cough, like I didn't care either way
Never knew I could get my heart broken in so many ways

[Verse 3]
And the last time that I saw her
Standing in the pouring rain
Hair a little shorter
But everything else looked the same
I could'a told her that I adored her
She could'a said she felt the same way
But we just smiled 'cause sometimes words
Aren’t the right words to say

[Outro]
We just smiled 'cause sometimes words
Aren’t the right words to say
