Final Fantasy X-2
1000 Words Lyrics



Performed by Jade from SWEETBOX

I know that you're hiding things
using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily

I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily

"Save your tears, 'cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore to hide that pain when I turned back the pages
Shouting might've been the answer

What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart

'Cause a thousand words called through the ages
They'll fly to you, even though I can't see
I know they're reaching you, suspended on silver wings!

Oh, a thousand words
One thousand embraces...
Will cradle you, making all of your weary days seem far away.
They'll hold you forever

Oh, a thousand words [A thousand words...]
Have never been spoken [Oh, yeah.]
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms [Carry you home...!]
Suspended on silver wings! [On silver wings!]

And a thousand words, [Ooh...]
Called out through the ages [Called through the ages]
They'll cradle you, turning all of the loving into only days... [Only days.
They'll hold you forever

Oh, a thousand words...
