Remember your words
Care for them cautiously
Let them know how your words
Tore down a wall in me

Light like your touch
Doesn't taste much
But they would make me blush
Air through your lungs
Shaped by your tongue
How could they raise the young?

What if words don't make it better?
What if time won't get us right?
Baby, what are words if they never matter?
Will we use our doubts to make up our minds?

What if words don't make it better?
What if time won't get us right?

I was only in love
When I questioned my will to live
The whisper was soft
But the sound was a scream to me

Write it all down
Make the song sound
Like you have figured it out
Air through my lungs
Shaped by my tongue
How could I raise the young?

What if words don't make it better?
What if time won't get us right?
Baby, what are words if they never matter?
Will we use our doubts to make up our minds?

What if words don't make it better?
What if time won't get us right?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
What if time won't get us right?

God, I hope I'm not judged
For the things I’ve done
Only God could forgive
When the time has come
But I’ve tried to be true
When I speak of me and you, you

Don't you know how a word
Could cause a good heart to break?

What if words don't make it better?
What if time won't get us right?
Baby, what are words if they never matter?
Will we use our doubts to make up our minds?

What if words don't make it better?
What if time won't get us right?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
What if time won't get us right?
