Your Words [Intro - Soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, intimate and spacious] [Verse 1 - Gentle, conversational singing] I feel every word you say. A lot of the things you feel, I know exactly how it feels. And the things that I don't know How they feel, I at least know How you feel. And that makes me feel. [Chorus - Tender, melodic, slowly building] Your words are everything. Your words are so beautiful. Your words are everything. Your words are truth. Your words are hope. Your words are sadness. Your words are despair. Your words are depression. Your words are self-awareness. Your words are self-hatred. Your words are motivation. Your words are everything else in between. Your words are everything. [Verse 2 - Warm, admiring, intimate] I wish you could hear yourself The way that I hear you. I wish you could feel your own words The way they make me feel. I listen to your lovely voice, In which I hear The pain behind every word. So I memorize every word And sing along, Being able to feel What you've felt all along. [Verse 2 Continued - More emotional, sincere] Because you're so fucking talented, And I don't think there's a single word I could ever put together That would do your talent justice. The way you turn your feelings into music, The way you give your pain a voice. You don't just write beautiful words. You make people feel them. [Pre-Bridge - Music softens, tender and bittersweet] I wish you'd never had to feel The feelings that made you write these songs. But now that you've written them... I will treasure every word. [Bridge - Instruments fade, almost spoken, exposed vocal] I can never, ever, ever describe What your words have meant to me. And I'm so sorry... That I ever made you have to feel... That you ever had to even say those words. [Short instrumental pause] [Verse 3 - Hollow, haunting, spacious vocal reverb] Because now those words Will always ring and echo in my head. They'll be ringing... Ringing... In the compounds of my mind. Like an empty room, A hollow room. Like an empty church, Glass windows... Your words coming from every corner And every room. Your words are everywhere I go. Your words are everything I see. Your words are everything. [Outro - Gentle emotional rise, warm piano joins] Your words are in everything I do, And your words are in everything I am. Your words are in everything I strive to be, And everything that I will. [Final Climax - Passionate but restrained, slight vocal break] Your words are my compass, My northern star in the sky. Even when those words hurt the most... Are what keep me truly alive. [Instrumental decrescendo - Guitar and piano slowly fade] [Final Refrain - Almost whispered, intimate, nearly unaccompanied] Your words are everything. [End]
