[VERSE 1] They say “be kind” — but kindness never finds you. They say “stay blind” — while every string surrounds you. They say “help me” — but never help you through. They say “look at me” — and never look at you. [PRE-CHORUS] What is their word worth when meaning falls away? What are promises when they break the very day? [CHORUS] What are words when they drift like ash and fade into the grey? Only actions stay. Only actions stay. [VERSE 2] They say “be good” — while doing what they shouldn’t. They say “be in a good mood” — when they know you couldn’t. They say “be cheerful” — while their hearts turn cruel. They say “be careful” — and break their every rule. [PRE-CHORUS] What is their word worth when meaning falls away? What are promises when they break the very day? [CHORUS] What are words when they drift like ash and fade into the grey? Only actions stay. Only actions stay. [BRIDGE] They say “call me” — but they never call. They say “care about me” — but never care at all. They say “love me” — but they don’t love you back. And they’re surprised to reap what they let crack. [PRE-CHORUS] What is their word worth when meaning falls away? What are promises when they break the very day? [FINAL CHORUS ] What are words when they drift like ash and fade into the grey? Only actions stay. Only actions stay. [OUTRO] What are words when they drift like ash and fade into the grey? Only... actions... stay... Only... actions... stay...
