He said "John I do believe
I've seen Virginia to the end
I find myself about as far as I can go
It culminated late last night
From pointed fingers starting
fires that burned since years ago
We've fallen out of love."
And I said "Friend, you learn to
love to feel the words you hate to hear yeah
Just shut your mouth and
then the truth comes stinging clear
You find you're wrong and
it's your problems all along
And then you love someone,
but not 'till then
You love someone
Haunted by computer screens
The world around him
Grass was greener on the other end
She could see it in his eyes
The love had left or it had died
and she was left that way
With nothing left for her to say
So she said "Love, you learn to love
to feel the words you hate to hear yeah
just shut your mouth and
then the truth comes stinging clear
you find you're wrong and
it's your problems all along
and then you love someone, but not 'till then
You love, 'till then you love."
It took love to finally see the
pointed fingers back at me
A silent mouth, a broken heart, a sword retired
A silent mouth, a broken heart, a sword retired
So a sword retired
It's a sword retired
Yes a sword retired
It's a sword retired
It's a sword
Well oh oh oh
It's a sword retired oh oh oh
It's a sword
It's a sword retired
Well oh oh oh
I said "Friend, you learn to love to
feel the words you hate to hear yeah
Just shut your mouth and then
the truth comes stinging clear
You find you're wrong and it's
your problems all along
And then you love someone but not 'till then
You love someone"
