Words

[offset:500]Darren Hayes - Words

Give a taste of what’s to come,

give me a medicine,

teach me a lesson, maybe I deserve to know

Cut me down to size and paralyze me,

with the contents of your pretty little head

Give somewhere else to go,

give me one thing,

tell me something I don’t really need to know

I am so afraid of breaking what we made;

it is delicate and lovely,

but it’s a weight above me

And your words are like weapons,

but you’ll keep them inside,

they cut like a knife

And you keep it together,

those feelings inside,

there’s nowhere to hide but away from me,

and I just wanna listen to your words

I’d like to step into your world

Show me a secret,

I promise to keep it safe and sheltered from the storm

I would cross the great divide that keeps me swimming,

treading water from your shore

Now I wanna coax you from your hell,

into an alley, the hidden valley,

where the truth can surely spill

I wanna take the weight that drags you to the ground,

spare this treasure that I found

But your words are like weapons,

you’ll keep them inside,

there’s nowhere to hide but away from me

And I just wanna listen..

There’s a lock, someone’s stolen the key

They took it away from me,

somewhere that no one can read ya

I see a bible,

I see a bible in your eyes

All those codes and hidden meanings,

full of metaphor,

and something for the faithless in me

there’s nowhere to hide
