1000 Words [FFX-2]

1000 Words

I know that you're hiding things

Using gentle words to shelter me

Your words were like a dream

But dreams could never fool me

Not that easily

I acted so distant then

Didn't say goodbye before you left

But I was listening

You'll fight your battles far from me

Far too easily

"Save your tears 'cause I'll come back"

I could hear that you whispered as you walk through that door

But still I swore

To hide the pain

When I turn back the pages

Shouting might have been the answer

What if I'd cried my eyes out and beg you not to part

But now I'm not afraid

To say what's in my heart

For a thousand words

Have never been spoken

They'll fly to you

Crossing over the time

And distance holding you

Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words

One thousand confessions

Will cradle you

Making all of the pain you feel seem far away

They'll hold you forever

The dream isn't over yet

Though I often say I can't forget

I still relive that day

You've been there with me all the way

I still hear you say

"Wait for me I'll write you letters"

I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor

But still I swore

To hide the doubt

When I turn back the pages

Anger might have been the answer

What if I'd hung my head and say that I couldn't wait

But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late

'Cause a thousand words

Call out through the ages

I'll fly to you

Eventhough I can't see

I know they're reaching you

Suspended on silver wings

Oh a thousand words

One thousand embraces

Will cradle you

Making all of your weary days seem far away

They'll hold you forever

Oh a thousand words

(a thousand words)

Have never been spoken

They'll fly to you

They'll carry you home

(carry you home)

and back into my arms

Suspended on silver wings

(on silver wings)

And a thousand words

(oh~)

Call out through the ages

(call through the ages)

They'll cradle you

(oh yea~)

Turning all of the lonely years to only days

(only days)

They'll hold you forever

(oh~)

A thousand words~~
