Words I Know Songtext

von Jane Child

Words I know won't go
They stay strapped to me
Oh, I don't believe what they're saying
Oh no
Circumvent my will
Words that shoot to kill
Watch their secrets spill from my eyes, yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah

Though my heart was there
I stayed undeclared
Left you lying there in the cold rain
Oh yeah
All those sighs set free
Stuck my mind for me
Wreck me constantly 'til I shut down
Oh yeah

And I've got to let you go
And get on
But all those words I know
Won't leave my head alone
And I've carried them around
For so long
Days come and go
But words I know keep hanging on
Yeah, yeah

Swords you ran through me
Boy, you cut so deep
I don't ever sleep anymore, no
No, no
Still they swarm and seethe
Rape me mentally, and they
They inhabit me with devotion
Oh yeah

And I've got to let you go
And get on
But all those words I know
Won't leave my head alone
And I've carried them around
For so long
Days come and go
But words I know keep hanging on
And I've got to let you go
And get on
Days come and go
But words I know keep hanging on

(They stay strapped to me
They won't lie to me)
They keep hanging on
(They stay strapped to me
They won't lie to me)
They don't lie to me
(They stay strapped to me)
Oh
(They won't lie to me)
Oh
(They stay strapped to me)
They won't lie to me
(They won't lie to me)
No, no
(They stay strapped to me)
Oh, oh
(They won't lie to me)
Oh, those words
(They stay strapped to me)
I don't know
(They won't lie to me)
Hey
(They stay strapped to me
They won't lie to me)
Hanging on
(They stay strapped to me)
Words I know
(They won't lie to me)
They keep hanging on

(They stay strapped to me
They don't lie to me)
Oh, oh
(They stay strapped to me)
Oh, those words
(They don't lie to me).
