SAVAGE GARDEN
A Thousand Words
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
So take all this noise to your brain
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 can resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason
Why I don't need you anymore, oh

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
So take all this noise to your brain
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 can resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason
Why I don't need you anymore, oh

[Bridge]
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]
You can resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason
Why I don't need you anymore, oh
You can resurrect a thousand words
To deceive me more and more
A thousand words will give the reason
Why I don't need you anymore, oh
