lyrics

You turned me around;
I got lost, and I found
out that I don't know who to believe.
You tell me that I'm overreacting;
Am I imagining things? Are you acting
like you knew all along in the end you would leave?

This ain't the first time that I've heard
you make excuses, but these words
are the very last you'll hear from me.

Actions speak louder than words,
And when I feel you pulling away,
You might as well lay your cards on the table,
If you're not here to stay.
Then, goodbye and go.
Don't put on a show;
I won't hear a word you say.
Don't you know your actions speak louder that way?

Now you're shifting the blame
In this tic-tac-toe game.
We both know that you made the first move.
If I'm wrong I blew it out of proportion,
But if I'm right, that's the real misfortune.
Either way that I play, in the end I will lose.

And I think you may already know
that ever since we said hello,
this has been inevitable, inevitable.

Actions speak louder than words,
And when I feel you pulling away,
I might as well fold;
I'm not gonna hold on for one more day.
So, goodbye and go.
Don't put on a show;
I won't hear a word you say.
Don't you know your actions speak louder that way?

Actions speak louder than you.
Actions speak louder than me.
Actions speak louder than her.
Your actions speak louder.
Louder…louder than you.

Oh, your actions speak louder than words,
And when I feel you pulling away,
You might as well lay your cards on the table.
If you're not here to stay,
Then, goodbye and go.
Don't put on a show;
I won't hear a word you say.
Don't you know your actions speak louder that way?
Oh, don't you know your actions speak louder that way?
