Words cover Shannon King

LYRICS:

Always in a rush

Never stay on the phone

Long enough

Why am I so self important?

Said I'd see you soon

But that was, oh,

Maybe a year ago

Didn't know time

Was of the essence

So many questions

But I'm talking to myself

I know that you can't hear me

Anymore, not anymore

So much to tell you

And most of all goodbye

But I know that you can't hear me

Anymore

It's so loud inside my head

With words that I

Should have said

And as I drown in my regrets

I can't take back

The words I never said

Always talkin shit

Took your advice

And did the opposite

Just being young and stupid

Oh

I haven't been all that you

Could have hoped for

But I you held on

A little longer

You'd have had more reasons

To be proud

Oh

So many questions

But I'm talking to myself

I know that you can't hear me

Anymore, not anymore

So much to tell you

And most of all goodbye

But I know that you can't hear me

Anymore

It's so loud inside my head

With words that I

Should have said

And as I drown in my regrets

I can't take back

The words I never said

The longer I stand here

The louder the silence

I know that your gone

But sometimes I swear

That I hear

Your voice when the wind blows

So I talk to the shadows

Hoping you might be listening

'Cause I want you to know

It's so loud inside my head

With words that I

Should have said

And as I drown in my regrets

I can't take back

The words I never said
