Worth a Thousand Words - Mayday Parade

I’m not your perfect picture

I’m not your favorite song

I’m not your hand to hold

Not the answer to your problems

So don’t talk to me like I’m some hero laced in gold

And I can’t love you

No I can’t love you enough

The thoughts been eating away what’s love

And I can’t love you

No I can’t love you enough

So promise me you’ll try

You’re cut away from something that I can’t change

We’re about to break

And even if you lie

The world will just forgive you

But don’t forget that our love is dead

We’re meant to be the strong ones

Yet the things we think about are the things we can’t control

But I can’t help but struggle

(But I can’t help but struggle)

When the person that I am is the person I don’t know

I’ve broken in the brightest city

And I fall apart to all the pretty songs

The thoughts been eating away once again

It’s hard to talk when there’s no meaning

I’m half awake and far from dreaming

And every time you call my name

I swear to you I’ll come

So promise me you’ll try

You’re cut away from something that I can’t change

We’re about to break

And even if you lie

The world will just forgive you

But don’t forget that our love is dead

I could be your heart

Reaching for the stars

Run away with me

We know what we are

So promise me you’ll try

To grab a hold of something to keep you safe

And I promise that I’ll sing you to sleep

(I promise that I’ll sing you to sleep)

Believe me

When they’ve been mistaken for a tragedy

It’s obvious you’re faking

But you’re not convincing me you’re singing along

So promise me you’ll try

You’re cut away from something that I can’t change

We’re about to break

And even if you lie

The world will just forgive you

But don’t forget that our love is dead

I could be your heart

Reaching for the stars

Run away with me

We know what we are

So promise me you’ll try

To grab a hold of something to keep you safe

And I promise that I’ll sing you to sleep

And even if you lie

The world will just forgive you again
