Words Can't Hurt

(Album: The Rain Just Follows Me - 2021)

(I used to think that things would change)
(We all stayed the same)
(I used to think that things would change

Day by day, we shine then we fade
Eyes open wide, I'm afraid to fall asleep
Out in the deep, by the moonlight, we sway
By fire's light, I count the passing days

I used to think that things would change
But we all stayed the same
I used to think that things would change

What if the words they say aren't real?
The only thing that matters is how you feel
The words can't hurt us now
The ocean between you and me
You act so sweet and you cut so deep
But the words can't hurt us now

Night by night, we lay it on the line
No place to hide, drifting out to sea
Out in the blue, it's only me and you
No end in sight, nothing left to say

I used to think that things would change
But we all stayed the same
I used to think that things would change

What if the words they say aren't real?
The only thing that matters is how you feel
The words can't hurt us now
The ocean between you and me
You act so sweet and you cut so deep
But the words can't hurt us now

These words you say don't cut too deep
I tell you I don't feel a thing
Into the night, you set me free
We're fading out, I can't escape
These words can't hurt us now
I tell you I don't feel a thing
Lost in your eyes, this is a dream
Don't fade away, don't fade

Follow the moonlight
Follow the moonlight back to me

I used to think that things would change
But we all stayed the same
I used to think that things would change

What if the words they say aren't real?
The only thing that matters is how you feel
The words can't hurt us now
The ocean between you and me
You act so sweet and you cut so deep
But the words can't hurt us now

Follow the moonlight
Follow the moonlight
Follow the moonlight back to me
