A Few Words Too Many
Billie Myers
Growing Pains (1997)

Verse 1

Wait a minute
What did you say
Did I hear you say
There's no real reason left for you to stay
Under your breath I hear your soft voice break
Can we still be friends?
I hear you talking but you're just not making sense
I'd been hoping for a happy ending
Now I know that there won't be any

Chorus

Just a few words too many
In my head
A few words too many
In this bed
A few words too many
Left unsaid
Oh I wish that we were strangers
We could start again
All over

Verse 2

A broken shadow falls across your face
As you hesitate
Trying to think of all the things you need to say
Bare face the truth lies at my feet
As you turn away
Sometimes silence has a way of making peace
I'd been hoping for a happy ending
Now I knew that there won't be any…

Chorus

Just a few words too many
in my head
A few words too many
In this bed
A few words too many
Left unsaid
Oh I wish that we were strangers
We could start again
Start again
All over again
MIDDLE 8

Staring at the ceiling
Wondering just what you're feeling
was it me
or was it you
what's the difference
If I knew
Maybe I wouldn't feel so empty

Chorus

If I had heard a few words too many
In my head
A few words too many
In this bed
A few words too many
Left unsaid

Oh I wish that we were strangers
We could start again
Start again
Start all over again

We could start again
We could start again

Round and round and round and round
In my head, yeah…


Wait a minute
What did you say
Did I hear you say
