The air is cooling and the sun's going down The day's beeen grueling in this dusty old town My body's aching I meant to tell you something It was on the tip of my tongue Words rush by so quickly And it's too late to take them back I tried to say I'm sorry Ad that goodbye was just an act (refrão) But all my words got in the way And all the things I meant to say Were not the things you heard Oh, why'd you had to go and take me at my word Words come back to haunt you Yeah, they just keep Hanging around I still can hear the echo I still can hear their andgry sound (repete refrão) Words can say I love you Oh, words can break a heart I should have stopped you leaving and told the truth right from the start (repete refrão)
