Lyrics

What words could someone say?

It’s personal, you hid it so well
Oblivious, you were living in a shell
Bending over backwards for the ones without a name
Borderline comedian secretly living in pain

So unexpected, Such a giving soul
Dishing out so much of yourself must have taken its toll

What words could someone say to change your mind?
You left so many questions, no answers will we find
Friends and family dressed in black to bare the pain you left behind
What words could someone say?

Casual, you were making your debut
One night only, the last premier for you
Smokes scorched down to the filter, anxious for what's to come
Something else was on your mind with eyes setting like the sun

Those kids will carry on
Uphold your legacy
We'll be screaming into microphones
Til we succumb to entropy

What words could someone say to change your mind?
You left so many questions, no answers will we find
Friends and family dressed in black to bare the pain you left behind
What words could someone say?

You can always find someone out there who will strike with the right tone
In the backyard of a house show or someone over the phone
Don't need an epiphany
Don't need a miracle
Do what it takes to get through the worst day you’ve ever known

With words, words anyone can say
With words, words anyone can say
