Lyrics
VERSE
Some things said in anger to the one I love the most
Therein lies the danger; now I'm living with a ghost
Nothing could be stranger than being here alone
Words were my life-changer; so if the truth be known
CHORUS
Words unwritten don't get read
Untold secrets never spread
Best to quit while you're still ahead
Some things better left unsaid
SOLO
VERSE
Our love jumped the track 'cause I painted the picture black
It was easy that word attack, but words can't be taken back
Some people can forget, but some can't quite let go
Of the hurt they feel inside; wish I knew then what I now know
Repeat CHORUS
SOLO
Repeat CHORUS
SOLO OUT
