Intro

Verse 1

It’s something cold like wh

at I stuck around to fight through

And

it gets feeling tougher every

day

I feel like everybody

likes to run their mouth but

Can&rsqu

o;t decide on what it is they’r

e tryin’ to say

There’s nothing wrong with he

aring voices

Even

when they’re in

your

dreams

And if you’d listen

in tomorrow cou

ld be better th

an it seems

Verse 2

I used to think I couldn&rs

quo;t even count my blessings

But

now I know they’re few and

far between

And when I look at my re

flection in the mirror

I can

see some man I’ve neve

r even seen

The wasted life I left be

hind me

Was just a

war I couldn&rs

quo

;t win

I’m the devil&rsquo

;s guest of honor

that’s t

he best it’s ever been

Chorus

Little

said is soonest

mended

Without a

wing a word could

fly a 1.000

miles

I&rs

quo;d rather be abandone

d or alone

Just so

I could lend my

secrets to the

wind

Instrumental

Verse 3

I know a man whose pain is

heavy like an anchor

And it

drags him to the bottom of the

sea

His cloudy eyes are often

lost behind a daydream

Or

frozen in some broken memo

ry

But I&rsq

uo;ve never heard him speak about

what happened

He’ll

never say what

laid h

im low

There are secrets that we

carry that are

ours to bare a

lone

Verse 4

You said a love that’s ke

pt in secret dies in darkness

And a

soul needs to confess to be set

free

So I’m lifting bac

k the cover of my heart, dear

And

hoping that you’ll do the sam

e for me

It’s not too pretty, but

it’s open

It’

s the only

way I know to tel

l yo

u true

I’d walk the world al

one before I&r

squo;d ever wal

k away from you

Chorus

Little

said is soonest

mended

Without a

wing a word could

fly a 1.000

miles

I&rs

quo;d rather be abandone

d or alone

Just so

I could lend my

secrets to the

wind

Instrumental

Verse 5

If you can link your value to your

wallet or a key chain

Or a

locked wrought iron fence around your

yard

Living check to check, a skinny

tie around your neck

On stolen

time and borrowed numbers off a

card

You blink and life is left be

hind you

There’s

no escape, that&rsq

uo;s

just a fact

We&rsq

uo;re all a dollar short and

every one of

us is running o

ut of track

Chorus

Little

said is soonest

mended

Without a

wing a word could

fly a 1.000

miles

I&rs

quo;d rather be abandone

d or alone

Just so

I could lend my

secrets to the

wind

Little

said is soonest

mended

Without a

wing a word could

fly a 1.000

miles

I&rs

quo;d rather be abandone

d or alone

Just so

I could lend my

secrets to the

wind
