Two paper cups with cardboard sleeves
Sitting on the table getting cold
Neither one of us really wanted a drink
But we needed something to hold
I think you know what's coming by now
Cause I'm not good at hiding it
Know what I gotta say, just don't know how
And I'm not good at finding it
Do I say
What I need to say
Or do I tell you what I think you wanna hear
There's no good way
To make a heart break
And when it's over all this won't just disappear
I could tell you I'm sorry and that one day it won't hurt
Say it's me not you and I'm not what you deserve
But they're just words
They're just words
They're just words
They're just words
We talk about that trip we took upstate
When you told me all of your secrets
I carry them around and I feel the weight
Of seeing you at your weakest
I know you're gonna need to ask me why
But will it even make a difference
When we'll both be lying wide awake tonight
Why's the truth so inconvenient
Do I say
What I need to say
Or do I tell you what I think you wanna hear
There's no good way
To make a heart break
And when it's over all this won't just disappear
Cause they're just words
They're just words
They're just words
They're just words
You can keep 'em if you need 'em
Or throw 'em right back at me
Oh, you can twist the way I mean 'em
And blame me when I leave
And I could tell you I'm sorry and that one day it won't hurt
Say it's me not you and I'm not what you deserve
But they're just words
They're just words
They're just words
They're just words
They're just words
They're just words
They're just words
They're just words
