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
give me the words
give me the words that tell me nothing
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 just like you i should find a way
to tell you everything by saying nothing
give me the words that tell me nothing
give me the words that tell me everything
