Am C F Esus E
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
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
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 sacrified
Oh give me the words, give me the words that tell me nothing
Oh giveme the words, give me the words that tell me everything
