Backstory:

This was one of the first songs Sam and Nicole and I ever wrote. I had the hook idea of "Words" and trying to make it a powerful word. Sam and Nicole put together the amazing melody and wrote the song.

Lyrics:

                                                  
WORDS
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/Sam Gyllenhaal (BMI)/Nicole Lewis(ASCAP)

I still hear you soft and clear 
Your lips close to my ear
Whispering how much you loved me

You never told me a lie
Meant it all once upon a time
Tryin’ to write that storybook ending 
We were happy then 
	
Chorus:
Told each other we were forever 
The stay up all night dreams that we made
But promises always sound better
When the heart can stand behind what you say
You love, you lose, you learn
They’re only words

Can’t shake away that goodbye
Echoin’ around in my mind
Over and over and over

Part of me wants to believe
We said things we didn’t mean
Just sticks and stones we were throwing
In the heat of the moment

	Bridge:
They’ll only bruise us if we let ‘em 
Only words
And I could easily forget ‘em 
If you want me to
Do you want me to 

And we could go back to forever
To the stay up all night dreams that we made
Promises always sound better
When the heart can stand behind what you say
We could take ‘em back, 
And heal what we hurt
Cuz they’re only words
