[Verse 1]
Words like, "Hey, nice to meet you"
Got us walking down the street to grab a drink
And words like, "Tell me 'bout your family"
Got us falling, got us landing in a tree
Oh, and words took us all the way from kissin'
In a parkin' lot to missin' everything we used to be

[Chorus]
Say the words and I'll be gone
Turn our perfect lines into another sad song
I won't keep you here, keep holding on
To what we were
Just say the words

[Verse 2]
Words, well, they sure are confusin'
Like when we started using them, just bullets in a fight
Oh, and words like, "Did you ever love me?"
Well, they pushed you and they shoved me to the edge of goodbye

[Chorus]
Just say the words and I'll be gone
Turn our perfect lines to another sad song
I won't keep you here, keep holding on
To what we were
Just say the words
[Bridge]
Like bitter poison drippin' off your tongue
Pull the thread and watch the story come undone

[Chorus]
Just say the words and I'll be gone
Turn our perfect lines to another sad song
I won't keep you here, keep holding on
To what we were
Just say the words

[Outro]
Maybe words like, "I'm sorry and I need you"
Would have been enough to keep you
From walking out
Is it too late to say 'em now?
