All the words in the world Wouldn't make you stay this evening; Though I scrabble around for any I can say, So hard to take our leave, So hard to stop believing. I guess we know this silence well enough, And you'll be going by and by; I'm scared that anything I offer Might be taken for a lie. All said and done, And there's no way to make it any different. I hold my tongue as you're walking away. So goodbye comes - Oh, I don't want to make it difficult But nothing's easy when there's nothing left to say. Now we only talk as though time were heavy weather With a storm-cloud brewing on each hasty phrase... All the words in the world wouldn't put us back together. Maybe we had our opportunities... Most of those chances passed us by; I'm scared that anything I offer Might be taken as a bribe. All said and done, And there's no way to make it any different. I hold my tongue as you're walking away. So goodbye comes - Oh, I don't want to make it difficult But nothing's easy when there's nothing left to say.
