Words That We Couldn't Say

We couldn't say them
So now we just pray them
Words that we couldn't say.

Funny, ain't it? Games people play
Scratch it, paint it, one and the same
We couldn't find them
So we tried to hide them
Words that we couldn't say.

It hurts, don't it? Fools on parade
Taint it, own it, chase it away
We couldn't make them
So we had to break them
Words that we couldn't say.

Sometimes, baby, we make mistakes
Dark and hazy, prices we pay
I sit here on my shelf
Just talkin' to myself
Words that we couldn't say.

Someday, maybe, we'll make it right
Until that day
Long endless nights
We couldn't say them,
So now we just pray them
Words that we couldn't say.

We couldn't say them
So now we just pray them
Words that we couldn't say.

Someday, maybe, we'll make it right
Until that day
Long endless nights
We couldn't say them
So now we just pray them
Words that we couldn't say.
