Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fate lets you fall into her arms without a word
And only the size of your breath that hurts
I'm not one to go to church
But you made me believe in something more than hurt
[Verse 2]
I feel like I don't have the words
I feel like I don't have the words
Because I can't speak
Am I so naive?
I feel like I don't have the words
Because I can't speak
[Verse 3]
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close but not quite
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close but not quite
[Verse 4]
I'm so misunderstood
I'm so misunderstood
I'm so misunderstood
I'm so misunderstood
I don't know what to believe in
[Verse 5]
I guess your eyes said enough
I guess your sigh said enough
All of these words, no they can't express pain
It's like my life ended, there's no words that I've learned
[Verse 6]
Oh and these are just words
And they can't express pain
These are just words
Oh, words
That can't express the pain
The pain in my soul
[Verse 7]
Speak the unspoken
A monster got woken up and now, now I'm in his part
[Verse 8]
Of these words I've tried to recite
They are close but not quite
Almost impossible to do
Reciting the makings of you
