I Wrote These Words

I  Wrote These Words

Down, do I really bring you down?
Did you think I was profound?

I hate to disappoint you

but I've been thinking when,

when I'm always on the defense

am I even making sense?

You need everything to please you, don't you?

I write these words so I don't have to cry

I say these things so I can sleep at night

and when you see my smile you'll know it's true

because I play these words for you

Do, do you need me to be in love?

Is that what you're thinking of?

You think that I'm too angry

and so do all your friends,

but you all just want to dance

so you observe the latest trends

I never could sustain you, they do.

I write these words so I don't have to cry

I say these things so I can sleep at night

and when you see my smile you'll know it's true

because I play these words for you

Soon somebody's gonna break your heart,

you'll find out who you are

you need someone to relate to

you understand these words,

But it feels so good to hurt

you could get back to where you were

if you learn to let it heal you, will you?

I write these words so I don't have to cry

I say these things so I can sleep at night

and when you seem my smile you'll know it's true

because I play these words for you

let me play these words for you.
