How did we end up like this
Under a burning sky?
Some things are better unsaid. 
It's easier to lie. 

I'm burning, but my heart is on the wire. 
Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in. 
Doesn't take a fool to start a fire. 
Solitary spark and wars begin. 

You say it's only words
And that it will get easier with time. 
Nothing's only words 
That's how hearts get hurt. 

I can't, I can't 
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
I can't stop hearing all the words you said 
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
I can't stop hearing words. 
That's how hearts get hurt. 

How did it all come to this? 
We started off as friends. 
It makes it easy to leave
If we're strangers by the end. 

I'm burning, but my heart is on the wire. 
Don't need a thousand guards to lock me in. 
Doesn't take a fool to start a fire. 
Solitary spark and wars begin. 

You say it's only words
And that it will get easier with time. 
Nothing's only words 
That's how hearts get hurt. 

I can't, I can't 
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
I can't stop hearing all the words you said 
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
I can't stop hearing words. 
That's how hearts get hurt. 

You say it's only words
And that it will get easier with time 
Nothing's only words 
That's how hearts get hurt. 

You say it's only words 
It doesn't matter if they're also mine. 
Nothing's only words
That's how hearts get hurt. 

I can't, I can't 
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
I can't stop hearing all the words you said 
I can't stop hearing all the words you said
Let's stop using words.
That's how hearts get hurt.
