If I were a word, you’d be pronunciation You'd make me, break me, just with how you say me And tell me how to sound I’d have a different meaning when you mumble in the morning In your daytime dazzling Or when you shout at night My existence right is with the emphasis you put on me And silently I die out when I’m the sound you swallow, Still Still I am, When I fall out of slang, replaced by another that sounds just like you want Still I stand, in your old dictionary That you haven’t used since you strike the right tone Not alone, I stand, as you stand beside me Even when you think you left to sing another tune You spell me, explain me In little scribbles right behind me that no one understands Thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t sound the way I do But it’s time now to leave you, leave you to die As you won’t live without me, but on paper I revive
