Say you'll never let me drown Be here when they knock me down Saying that you could take me higher Higher than never before Say that you'll never let me go I'll hold you to it, so watch your words Don't make a promise you can't keep, you can't reverse I'll hold you to it, so watch your words Don't make a promise you can't keep, you can't reverse [Chorus:] Tell me they're not only words, words They're not only words, words They're not only words, words Just make a promise you can keep Not only words. Say that when you smile your face You'll be there to restore my face We got this fire burning brighter than ever before Say that you'll never change And I'll hold you to it, so watch your words Don't make a promise you can't keep, you can't reverse I'll hold you to it, so watch your words Don't make a promise you can't keep, you can't reverse [Chorus:] Tell me they're not only words, words They're not only words, words They're not only words, words Just make a promise you can keep Not only words. You're speaking the sounds like magic Your words, they can sooth my pain Truth words are foreign language But your words could part the rain You're speaking the sounds like magic Your words, they can sooth my pain Truth words are foreign language You tell me that they're not only words, words They're not only words, words They're not only words, words Just make a promise you can keep Not only words.
