Words Lyrics - Passenger

well the first time that i saw her 

standing in the middle of the road 

eyes as bright as christmas lights 

wearing someone else's clothes 

i did my best to ignore her 

but ignoring my best pretty soon 

we spent the night all tangled tight 

in an armchair in my friends front room 

i said darling you know 

darling you know i can't stay 

cos i've given my heart and my word to a girl far away 

i felt weak as she kissed my cheek 

and sighed when i heard her say 

never knew i could get my heart broken in less than a day

oh and the next time that i saw her 

must have been a year or more 

face stained with mascara 

shivering outside my door 

i did my best to assure her 

but assurance isn't easy to give 

if you've never been sure of anything much 

and get less so the longer you live 

she said darling you know 

darling you know i can't stay 

cos i've given my heart and my word to a boy far away 

i spoke soft and pretended to cough 

like i didn't care either way 

never knew i could get my heart broken in so many ways

and the last time i saw her 

standing in the pouring rain 

hair a little shorter 

but everything else looked the same 

i could've told her that i adored her 

she could've said she felt the same way 

but we just smiled cos sometimes words 

aren't the right words to say 

we just smiled cos sometimes words 

aren't the right words to say
