When a relationship is based almost entirely on words, words are all it takes to end it...

Something about you made me want to know you
Something about you helped me reach beyond my pain
And made me want to trust you
So I wrote, "The world looks better through your eyes,"
And awaited your reply

So many letters spelled out our hearts' desires
So many words went rolling down so many miles
And humming through those wires
And when I read between the lines
The words said, "I need you,
You need me too,"

Now I don't know why you won't talk to me
And I don't know why you won't see me
Oh, were there just too many words between us?
Oh, were there just too many words between us?

Then I finally looked into your eyes
And I saw your smile for the first time
And I still hear you saying, "Won't you stay?
We'll run away..."
All I could say was, "Maybe some day."

Ah, but every single word I said was true
I just left out a few

And I don't know why you won't talk to me
And I don't know why you won't see me
Oh were there just too many words between us
Oh were there just too many words
And we've built so many walls

And I don't know why you won't talk to me
And I don't know why you won't see me
Oh were there just too many words between us
And now we've built so many walls between us
So many walls
