Song: Obvious by Taylor Trensch
I don't know how to use words,
Not when I use them verbally,
I don't know how to say,
'I care'
The way you tell me,
I don't know how to use words,
Not in the traditional way,
I like writing,
I like conveying emotions through stanzas,
Through paragraphs,
Through metaphors, similes and everything in between,
I don't know how to use words,
I can't tell you things I want to say,
Not in person,
Because that isn't how I roll,
I don't know how to use words,
I know that it's disappointing for you,
When I don't say,
What you want to hear,
I don't know how to use words,
So I write, and I type,
To try to convey,
That you mean a lot to me,
I don't know how to use words,
So instead,
I use gifts,
I use songs,
I use chords, and actions,
But not words,
Not... word words.
Maybe lyrics,
Or poems,
But not words.
I don't know how to use words,
It's a fault I'd like to remedy,
But until I do,
I'll appreciate you,
And the patience you hold,
For my incompetence to speak,
I don't know how to use words,
But know I mean the truth,
When I say,
Thank you.
