(Carl Wilson/Phil Galdston)
|
The promises I made When I was young, unafraid
|
I hurt so many hearts
|
And even my own could not escape
|
It comes to me now
|
|
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
|
And now I've finally learned
|
They're only words
|
They're only words
|
I've learned
|
I've pledged
|
I've burned
|
I've burned
|
And now the world has turned
|
They're only words
|
They're only words
|
Unless they're true
|
|
And when I took your hand
|
I thought we found wonderland
|
I wanted to be brave, oh I changed the world
|
But it's me who changed
|
It comes to me now
|
|
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
|
And now I've finally learned
|
They're only words
|
They're only words
|
I've learned
|
I've pledged
|
I've burned
|
I've burned
|
And now the world has turned
|
They're only words
|
They're only words
|
Unless they're true
|
|
They're only words (they're only words)
|
Unless they're true (unless they're true)
|
All these words
|
|
Show me once again
|
That lonely ends where love begins
|
You don't have to speak
|
Cos' its your eyes that I believe
|
I do believe
|
|
I've seen, I've heard (I've heard)
|
And now I've finally learned
|
They're only words
|
They're only words
|
I've learned
|
I've pledged
|
I've burned
|
And now
|
And now the world has turned
|
World has turned
|
They're only words
|
I've seen (oh yeah), I've heard (I've heard)
|
And now I've finally learned (I've learned)
|
They're only words
|
Unless they're true
