without words in the way

Beth Hart

I just came to say
Without words in the way
I've been trying all day
Hanging on by a string
Like a bird with one wing
Like a child without a dream

Since my lover went astray
Without words in the way

I hold my head high
God knows that I try
I'm a fool and fools don't cry
Like a well with no spring
I'm a song that don't sing
I'm a throne without a king

I wish I knew how to pray
Without words in the way

I just came to say
Without words in the way
I've been waiting for you all day
Like a match with no spark
Like a cheap work of art
You say I'm the hole that's in your heart
What's the use in asking you to stay
Without words getting in the way

I have never been that brave
Without words in the way
