A Thousand Words
Savage Garden

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 

so take all this noise into your brain and send it back again 
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then... 
I'll say the words out loud 

you could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more 
a thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore 

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 

so take all this noise into your brain and send it back again 
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then... 
I'll say the words out loud 

you could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more 
a thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore 

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 

you could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more 
a thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore 

you could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more 
a thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
