Lyrics

Words like vio lence, break the si lence, Feel come crash ing in, in to my lit tle world.

Pain ful to me, pierce right through me.

Can’t you un der stand, oh, my lit tle girl?

All I ev er want ed, all I ev er need ed is (Cm)here

in my arms.

Words are ver y (Ab)un nec es sar y.

(Cm)They can on ly do harm.

Vows are spo ken to be bro ken.

Feel ings are in tense, in words are triv i al.

Pleas ures re main, so does the pain.

Words are mean ing less and for get ta ble.

All I ev er want ed, all I ev er need ed is (Cm)here

in my arms.

Words are ver y (Ab)un nec es sar y.

(Cm)They can on ly do harm.

All I ev er want ed, all I ev er need ed is (Cm)here

in my arms.

Words are ver y (Ab)un nec es sar y.

(Cm)They can on ly do harm.

All I ev er want ed, all I ev er need ed is (Cm)here

in my arms.

Words are ver y (Ab)un nec es sar y.

(Cm)They can on ly do harm.
