These Are The Words Lyrics
James Blunt
Lyrics
Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town
We were sweethearts from college, she was always around
We were good for each other but, some things they just don't work out
There were tears in my eyes when she walked away
We'd had plans to get married some day
But the promises were broken before they were even made
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
Singing These Are The Words that I'm never gonna say again
Cause I'll give until I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words, that I'm never gonna say again
Tender was my lover, god I miss her embrace
And I wonder who it is puts a smile on her face
I recall the way she feels oh and I recall the way she tastes
If I could hold her now, then all that I'd see
Remind me of childhood memories
She was the first day of summer yeah, that girls, that girl's for me
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
Singing These Are The Words that I'm never gonna say again
Cause I'll give until I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words, that I'm never gonna say again
And these are the words that I say to your picture
These are the words that I say in a dream
These are the words that I wish I'd said to you
when you were standing here next to me
Cause I'll give until I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words, that I'm never gonna say again
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
Singing These Are The Words that I'm never gonna say again
Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
Singing These Are The Words that I'm never gonna say again
