Painting perfect pictures On the canvas in her head A sea of expectations Get ready, get set Let's go to where you are I wonder where we are Outside our doors there's thunder And in here we think it's safe So many nights I wonder If the lightning strikes I'll be alright At least I'll rest in peace tonight I wonder where you are This time you've gone too far Don't you ask me why when I've said that I do And you don't have to cry a million times Words can hurt, but they carry their weight in gold The weight of hearts of people today on my shoulders If I could turn back and show you the way I used to hold her Then maybe I could see the way my life used to be She is thinking of her, and all I'm thinking about is me I wonder where you are This time you've gone too far Don't you ask me why when I've said that I do And you don't have to cry a million times Words can hurt, but they carry their weight in gold Don't you ask me why when I've said that I do And you don't have to cry a million times Words can hurt, but they carry their weight in gold
