Never Meant a Word

Your eyes roll at the statement
A play at instigation
The small talk that we've had
Almost forms a conversation
In your words, in my words
No sign of resolution
Could we stop, just end it?
...But not run away?

Answering the questions and you're smiling like you get it, but
Living in regret won't turn it around
Is it gone?
Is it gone?

Oh, oh stay with me
I'll never leave you here
It takes some time to give it away, but
You've got the heart that's waiting to change

In slowing down the words that steer the argument
We find that neither side meant any word of it
In your words, in my words
Let's take them back
There's no sense in pretending we didn't get off track

Turning over stones and finding serpents lying under
Never solving problems, leaving everything asunder
Can we just move on?

Oh, oh stay with me
I'll never leave you here
It takes some time to give it away, but
You've got the heart that's waiting to change

In slowing down the words that steer the argument
We find that neither side meant any word of it
We never meant a word
We never meant a word

Oh, oh stay with me
I'll never leave you here
It takes some time to give it away, but
You've got the heart that's waiting to change
