Words Are Better Left Unsaid
Sweetheart, sometimes words are better left unsaid,
almost is never enough when you break free.
Every day I starved for you, you left instead,
but I knew better to let your hands on me.
Almost is never enough when you break free,
you’ll never know that I was your best mistake.
But I knew better to let your hands on me,
why try to mend wounds when they’re ready to break.
You’ll never know that I was your best mistake,
all those bad decisions left your soul greedy.
Why try to mend wounds when they’re ready to break,
a dangerous woman is how you see me.
All those bad decisions left your soul greedy,
baby I guess you don’t know me after all.
A dangerous woman is how you see me,
though I am someone to catch you when you fall.
Baby I guess you don’t know me after all,
maybe I’m the one that was too into you,
though I am someone to catch you when you fall,
didn’t we just stroll down honeymoon avenue?
Maybe I’m the one that was too into you,
I may act like I didn’t, but I knew better.
Didn’t we just stroll down honeymoon avenue?
Our great moments that I’ll always remember.
I may act like I didn't, but I knew better,
the problem is every day the moonlight shows
our great moments that I’ll always remember.
Just a little bit of your heart always glows.
The problem is every day the moonlight shows
the way you used to hunger for my embrace.
Just a little bit of your heart always glows,
I remember your voice would resound with grace.
The way you used to hunger for my embrace,
every day I starved for you, you left instead.
I remember your voice would resound with grace,
sweetheart, sometimes words are better left unsaid.
