I’ve been thinking about you today
I’ve been working on what you want me to say
Put the words in an order that works
And leave out the sharp ones that might make you hurt
You know I’ve never been good with words
Things I mean to say stumble out, stuttered and slurred
Now I’m standing here wrecking my brain
Cause you’re gonna make me lose my thread again
Ooh
I prefer silence to being unheard
Ooh
I can be kind without saying a word
Maybe I just don’t have what it takes
Maybe you could just put up with all my mistakes
Not exactly a sweet serenade
But I need you near me and words only get in the way
I need you near me and words only get in the way
Ooh
I prefer silence to being unheard
Ooh
I can be kind without saying a word
