The words I meant to say Lyrics by Sammy Copley

2019

[Verse 1]
I am quick to anger I am bitter, I am cruel
Insofar as to expect that you'll respect my silent rules
I am slow to answer and I haven't got a clue
How you could look at me the way I look at you
[Chorus]
Use your words, she said
And so I tried but as I spoke
The meaning tangled in my throat
There's a special kind of loneliness reserved for the ones who'll never know
The kind of hurt that helps you grow
She took my hand and pulled me close
[Verse 2]
I can't justify my righteousness yet wear it on my sleeve
And with every word I worry that you'll think less of me
I can't satisfy my longing to be safe or to be free
So I choose neither and just hope one comes to me
To me
[Chorus]
Use your words, she said
And so I tried but as I spoke
The meaning tangled and I choked
I'm inclined to call it loneliness
Despite being lit up by the gloam
We build our walls and call it home
[Verse 3]
And I understand that hand-in-hand
With happiness comes hurt
And one without the other could never, ever work
And it's hard to find that silver line
When you don't know your worth (mmm)
[Chorus]
Use your words, she said
And so I tried but as I spoke
The meaning tangled and I choked
There will always be a loneliness residing in my bones
It's a part of me, I know
She took my hand and led me home
