Saying the Words

Why did it have come to this?
Everything has fallen into remiss
You say that it will be okay
And it's always different the other way

But saying the words doesn't make it so
And here are things you need to know
Our love for you will never change
But the way you're acting just seems strange

The truth is lost behind the eclipse
As you insert words into our lips
Words of which we don't know how
Saying we don't love you now

But saying the words doesn't make it so
There's still so much that we don't know
This all seems fine from you point of view
Doing things you said you'd never do

Please step out from inside the fog
We never said that you were wrong
You say that things are under control
And you're better off on the whole

But saying the words doesn't make it so
You still have so much more to grow
We're not telling you, that you are bad
But you're wasting everything we had

Try to look at it from where we stand
All we're trying to do is understand
We only question for your own good
When you do things you said you never would

I guess saying the words doesn't make it so
We'll just have to work it out as we go...
