Verse: 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." I said "friend, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear 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 'til then You love someone" Instrumental Verse: 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 and 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 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 'til then You love 'til then you love." Bridge: 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 I said "Friend, you learn to love to feel the words you hate to hear 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 'til then You love someone"
