Savage Garden
A Thousand Words
Written by - Darren Hayes & Daniel Jones
From - Savage Garden
We stumble in a tangled web, decaying friendships almost dead 
And hide behind a mask of lies 
We twist and turn and we avoid, all hope of salvage now devoid 
I see the truth inside your eyes 
So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again 
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then... 
I'll say the words out loud 
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more 
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore 
Time manipulates your heart, preconception torn apart 
Begin to doubt my state of mind 
But I won't go down on what I said 
I won't retract convictions read I may perplex, but I'm not blind 
So take all this noise into your brain and send it back again 
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin, call you up and then... 
I'll say the words out loud 
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more 
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore 
Manipulation. Fabrication. Conversation. Annihilation 
I'll say a thousand words or more 
Damnation. Frustration. Elevation. Procreation 
I'll say a thousand word or more 
You could resurrect a thousand words to deceive me more and more 
A thousand words will give the reasons why I don't need you anymore
