She laid her heart and soul in your hands..

In a manner of speaking

I just want to say

That I could never forget the way

You told me everything

By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking

I don't understand

How love in silence becomes reprimand

But the way that i feel about you

Is beyond words

Oh give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me nothing

Oh give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking

Semantics won't do

In this life that we live we only make do

And the way that we feel

Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking

I just want to say

That just like you I should find a way

To tell you everything

By saying nothing.

It's gonna hurt bad,

 before it gets better,

I'll never get over you,

 walkin' away.

I've never been the kind,

 that let my feeling show,

I thought being strong,

 meant never losing your self-control.

But I'm just drunk enough,

 to let go of my pain,

To hell with my pride,

let it fall like rain from my eyes.

Tonight I wanna cry.
