They're just words
to you aren't they?

Is it so impossible
to see that they have meaning?

He tells her he loves her
that he would die without her
and you just spout out sounds
like you're ordering a cheeseburger.

Expand your mind for just a moment
let the character into your soul.

Have you never loved someone?
Have you never felt that you would
wither away and die without her?

Remember that feeling
that make your knees shake
your blood run cold
your voice catch in your throat
and use it.

Think back to the sparkle of her eyes
the tender touch of her hand
the angelic sound of her voice in the night,
this is that moment all over again

Let it fill you
let it consume you
let your pain
and desperation
become real once more
