every light shines on you tonight
making a fool out of me
why won't this love leave me alone
all of the people in this smoky room
crowded with faces i know
i feel them watching me watch you

chorus

say the words
say the words
say the words
say the words so i can leave it's over

your eyes are deeper
they are worthy of many words
but none i can conjure up will do for you
i shouldn't see you
'cause i know my own motivation
it's taking too long for this love
to leave me alone

chorus

say the words
say the words
say the words
say the words so i can leave it's over

bridge
oh love you worry me
when you say you'll wait forever
i have another life
we just cannot be together

chorus

say the words
say the words
say the words
say the words say them for me
i need to hear you say it's over
say the words
say the words
say the words so i can leave it's over
