These Words
R.S. Webb (Copyright 2003)

V1
We had words tonight, worse than most lovers do
Words like "leave if you feel that way" and "OK we're through"
Now I'm ragin by the fire, alone in the den
Driven by anger and the courage from my paper and pen

Chorus
Do these words say it just right or are they all wrong?
Do they say in that old lover's way tomorrow I"ll be gone?
Do these words leave you in doubt?
Guess I'll throw one more log on this fire and figure it out

V2
You pushed me tonight, and I hit the ceiling
Now it's hard to find the right words, tell you how I'm feelin
Should I change "never" to "maybe," or leave it alone?
Should I tear this letter up, leave now, and hope you get it on your own?

Chorus
Do these words say it just right or are they all wrong?
Do they say in that old lover's way tomorrow I"ll be gone?
Do these words leave you in doubt?
Guess I'll throw one more log on this fire and figure it out

Bridge
Oh but then I realize what I feel deep in my heart
Is much stronger than a silly war of words can pull apart

V3
The flames have all faded, they're just shadows and coals
And these words don't mean what they did a few hours ago
Maybe I've been foolish, what else is new?
Guess I'll lay this letter on the fire, find a way to make up with you
Gonna snuggle in beside you, say I'm sorry and these words - I love you
