Things

Everything I say to you seems to come out all wrong
 So I'll stop speaking sentences, instead I'll sing a song
 And the sound of my voice singing might soothe that thing in you
 That can't believe the words I speak or what I say is true
 There's no way to convince someone who won't be brought around
 By talking, it's noisy scene, while singing's more a sound
 So when I say I love you it's just a thing I've said
 Off my tongue, out of my mouth, made up in my head
 But when I say I love you that's a different thing
 Nothing smart, just some guts and heart since I mean what I say
 When I sing I do something it's not a thing I try
 So it sounds believable - I cannot sing a lie
 This song's almost over, it's short, I'm almost through
 I'm sorry for some sentences - I said what I told you
 One says stuff to anyone, but you are another thing
 If this feels familiar it's because of thee I sing
