[Verse 1]
Each time I learn words I didn't know
I reach my hands into traces of the past
But there may also be words
That I can't understand on my own

[Post-Chorus]
Goodbyes are bitter
And "I love you"s carried a distant scent
These incomparable feelings
Are terrifying, but are also terribly precious

[Chorus]
Why am I crying?
What should I answer my heart?
Words don't have to always be spoken
Just by being there
They will only grow stronger
And it makes me long for you more

[Verse 2]
Each time I learn more beautiful phrases
It feels like I've come to dislike myself more
But there may also be phrases
That I can't pretend not to know

[Post-Chorus]
Sadness is cold
And "Thank you"s are coloured with warmth
Each time I come into contact with something intangible
Your voice resonates deep within my heart

[Chorus]
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I've stopped writing
Unfinished letters
And the unaddressed letters
Flutter in the breeze
Towards the town
Of who I want them to reach
To tell of the end of the beginning

[Hook]
I will not give up on living
So I can show you
How proud I am of myself today

[Chorus]
Why am I crying?
What should I answer my heart?
Words don't have to always be spoken
Just by being there
They will only grow stronger
And it makes me long for you more
