Saying the Words

Why did it have come to this?

Everything has fallen into remiss

You say that it will be okay

And it's always different the other way



But saying the words doesn't make it so

And here are things you need to know

Our love for you will never change

But the way you're acting just seems strange



The truth is lost behind the eclipse

As you insert words into our lips

Words of which we don't know how

Saying we don't love you now



But saying the words doesn't make it so

There's still so much that we don't know

This all seems fine from you point of view

Doing things you said you'd never do



Please step out from inside the fog

We never said that you were wrong

You say that things are under control

And you're better off on the whole



But saying the words doesn't make it so

You still have so much more to grow

We're not telling you, that you are bad

But you're wasting everything we had



Try to look at it from where we stand

All we're trying to do is understand

We only question for your own good

When you do things you said you never would



I guess saying the words doesn't make it so

We'll just have to work it out as we go...
