You Say

from Attic Dust by Paul Bezooyen

about

What we say can often be different from what we actually feel or believe. I think most of us choose our words to suit our audience which for the most part is harmless. It just brings into question how well others know us... and how well we really know others.... or how much we should trust the messages in the media.

lyrics

You say you’d do anything for Love,
believing it’s a gift from above.
But the lonely child inside is afraid of how much love hurts

You say you’re quite happy and content.
Your words make you sound confident.
Self doubt is your companion. Whispers sweet nothings to your soul.

Our words have become the clothes we wear.
Chosen to suit each event.
Black tie or sexy, drab or in vogue
Dressed for the roles we invent

You say you’re intrigued by the news
Expressing your well reasoned views
But it’s not how you feel. You’d rather watch them all burn in hell

You say you’re a champion of the truth
Seek solace in a confessional booth
Your deeds and intentions are simply a plea for redemption.

Our words have become the clothes we wear.
Chosen to suit each event.
Black tie or sexy, drab or in vogue
Dressed for the roles we invent

Teachers and Preachers with Bibles
Talk shows and television idols
Searching for answers just raises more questions
Your words mean nothing at all.
Your words mean nothing at all.
Your words mean nothing at all.

You say you’d do anything for Love.
Believing it’s a gift from above.
But somewhere deep inside memories reside
Of how much your true love will cost
How much a true lover loves
How much your true love is asking….. of you.
