Words Can Only Say So Much

I can tell you I love you
Talk about forever
Say I'll always be here
Never think of never
I can tell you I need you
That I need your touch
Words Can Only Say So Much

We can listen to love songs
Poetry in motion
Say our prayers every night
Promise our devotion
We can live in a library
In the end, it's not enough
Words Can Only Say So Much

So many things are left unspoken
Too many promises yet to be broken
They're only lies
Only lies

I can foam at the mouth
Or I can just keep it shut
Words Can Only Say So Much

We're born in a world of lonely people
We have our kids, live out our lives
And we die
We die

I can tell you I love you
Talk about forever
Say I'll always be here
Never think of never
I can tell you I need you
That I need your touch
Words Can Only Say So Much

This almost got lost in the rush and it needs a bump. Nice form and very worthy theme, and I kept putting my own melody to the second and fourth lines. But my favorite part is the second verse, right on up to "We can live in a library". Nice wrap!
