these are the words

James Blunt

Tender was my lover from the suburbs of town
We were sweethearts from college
She was always around
We were good for each other but some
Things they just don't work out...

There were tears in my eyes
When she walked away
We had plans to get married some day
But the promises were broken
Before they were even made:

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that
I'll never gonna say again
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that
I'll never gonna say again...

Tender was my lover,
God I miss her embrace
And I wonder who it is that
Puts a smile on her face
I recall the way she feels and
Oh, I recall the way she tastes
If I could hold her now
Then all that I'd see'd
remind me of childhood memories
She was the first day of summer,
Yeah that girl, that girl's for me...

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that
I'll never gonna say again
Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that
I'll never gonna say again...

And these are the words that
I say to your picture...

These are the words that I say in a dream
These are the words that I wish I'd said to you
when you were standing here next to me...

Because I've given till I've given up
One more casualty of easy love
These are the words that
I'll never gonna say again...

Oooh now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that
I'll never gonna say again...

Now I'm dancing with a broken heart
Ain't no doctor who can make it start
These are the words that
I'll never gonna say again...
