[Verse 1]

Something cold like what I stuck around to fight through

It gets feeling tougher every day

I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth

But can't decide on what it is they're tryin' to say

There's nothing wrong with hearin' voices

Even when they're in your dreams

And if you'd listen in, tomorrow could be better than it seems

[Verse 2]

I used to think I couldn't even count my blessings

But now I know they're few and far between

And when I look at my reflection in the mirror

I can see some man I've never even seen

The wasted life I left behind me

Was just a war I couldn't win

I'm the devil's guest of honor, that's the best it's ever been

[Chorus]

Little said is soonest mended

Without a wing a word could fly a thousand miles

I'd rather be abandoned or alone

Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

[Verse 3]

I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor

And it drags him to the bottom of the sea

His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream

Or frozen in some broken memory

But I've never heard him speak about what happened

He'll never say what laid him low

There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone

[Verse 4]

You said a love that's kept in secret dies in darkness

And a soul needs to confess to be set free

So I'm lifting back the cover of my heart, dear

And hoping that you'll do the same for me

It's not too pretty, but it's open

It's the only way I know to tell you true

I'd walk the world alone before I'd ever walk away from you

[Chorus]

Little said is soonest mended

Without a wing a word could fly a thousand miles

I'd rather be abandoned or alone

Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

[Verse 5]

If you can link your value to your wallet or a key chain

Or a locked wrought iron fence around your yard

Living check to check, a skinny tie around your neck

On stolen time and borrowed numbers off a card

You blink and life is left behind you

There's no escape, that's just a fact

We're all a dollar short and every one of us is running out of track

[Chorus]

Little said is soonest mended

Without a wing a word could fly a thousand miles

I'd rather be abandoned or alone

Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

Little said is soonest mended

Without a wing a word could fly a thousand miles

I'd rather be abandoned or alone

Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
