[Verse 1] Words like violence break the silence Come crashing in into my little world Painful to me, pierce right through me Can't you understand? Oh, my little girl [Chorus] All I ever wanted All I ever needed is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm [Interlude] [Verse 2] Vows are spoken to be broken Feelings are intense, words are trivial Pleasures remain, so does the pain Words are meaningless and forgettable [Chorus] All I ever wanted All I ever needed is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm [Interlude] [Chorus] All I ever wanted All I ever needed is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm All I ever wanted All I ever needed is here in my arms Words are very unnecessary They can only do harm [Interlude] [Outro] Enjoy the silence
