In a manner of speaking

...I just want to say
that I could never forget the way
you told me everything
by saying nothing
In a manner of speaking I don’t understand
how love in silence becomes reprimand
but the way I feel about you is beyond words
Oh give me the words
that tell me nothing
Oh give me the words
that tell me everything

In a manner of speaking Semantics won't do
in this life that we live we only make do
and the way that we feel might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
that like you I should find a way
to tell you everything
by saying nothing
Oh give me the words
that tell me nothing
Oh give me the words
give me the words
give me the words
