Words that soar, words that linger
Words for the poet, words for the singer
Words that thrill, words that still
Hover by the windowsill
Tender words and loving words
The sweetest words you ever heard
Of all the words of tongue or pen
The saddest are what might have been
And what I should have said
Forgive me if you would
I was only trying to save my
Only trying to save myself with your love
I was only trying to save myself
Angry words and careless words
Words you never should have heard
Followed by a hundred hollow words
All promises without a verb
Words to charm and words to flatter
Words I knew would never matter
Words that twist and words that spin
Words that never could get in
And words that don’t get out
Forgive me if you would
I was only trying to save my
Only trying to save myself with your love
I was only trying to save myself
As if the world could stand still
The heavens part, and heal my heart
And all those hidden worlds within
Opened up and every promise made could still come true
And unafraid I could still ask of you
Forgive me if you would
I was only trying to save my
Only trying to save myself with your love
I was only trying to save myself
You see, somehow, I’ve always known:
Sooner or later, I know you’ll leave me
Sooner or later
Sooner or later, I know you’ll leave me
Sooner or later
Sooner or later, I know you’ll leave me
I know you’ll leave me
Sooner or later
